Manchester United wins at night: Garnacho encounters boos, Maguire receives warm applause

September 21st News The 5th round of the Premier League was staged, and Manchester United finally defeated Chelsea with a score of 2-1. There were many dramatic scenes in this game, with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez being sent off first, and Manchester United midfielder Casemiro being sent off before the end of the half. The Manchester Evening News took a look at some two points in the game and the moments that may be missed.

Old Trafford's response to Garnacho

Before the game, everyone was discussing whether Garnacho would start. The young player joined Chelsea for £40m at the last moment of the transfer window, and he knew he would not be welcomed by Manchester United fans. Garnacho sat on the bench and did not get up to warm up until the second half. He encountered booing from all the fans of the audience, and at the beginning of the game, there was even a song of "Who is that Argentine bastard?"

Chelsea fans borrowed Manchester United's slogan and shouted "Viva Garnacho" before the break, seemingly asking Maresca to let him play in the second half. Garnacho was booed again when he was about to play, but Maresca did not let him out in the end. Although Garnacho was from Manchester United's youth training and scored his first goal in the 2024 FA Cup final, his way of switching to Chelsea makes him unpopular among Manchester United fans. When the final whistle sounded, the song "Who is that Argentine bastard" came again from the Stratford stands.

Amorin got what he wanted

This evening game seemed like a good opportunity to show the spirit of the team, and the players did. Manchester United showed strong intentions and the "aggressiveness" that Amorin asked for from the first minute. Even after leading two goals, Manchester United did not relax and tried hard to win every confrontation. Maguire successfully cut the ball in a slip-on tackle and slapped Joao Pedro in the chest to provoke. Afterwards, Amad kicked the ball into the stands to stop a Chelsea attack and waved his arms to motivate the fans, and Manchester United fans also gave warm applause.

Amorin emphasized the importance of aggressiveness, and the message he conveyed was obviously accepted by the players. Although he was a little nervous in the final stage of the game, he was very satisfied with the victory.

Maguire received warm applause

The England international left the court from the Sir Ferguson stands and got warm cheers from the fans when he walked to the bench, and he waved his hand to respond. Maguire performed well last season but has been waiting for opportunities this season. The 32-year-old proved his worth in this game, and now he has only one year left in the contract and needs to fight for a new contract for himself. Before the game, Maguire received a framed jersey commemorating his 250 appearances for the club. He hopes to reach 300 appearances at Manchester United, but that means he needs to win a new contract.
