Lions and De Ligt-less Nights…
By thunder and tartan rainstorms, the Manchester United training ground was awash with drama more gripping than a soap opera about sentient footballs! Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee vanished into the misty Carrington morning like football-shaped phantoms! De Ligt was last seen fighting off injuries in a heroic battle fit for an epic poem, while Zirkzee danced his last jig on the pitch before his hamstring screamed for mercy against Newcastle! Rumors buzzed like bees at half-time, and everyone expected head coach Ruben Amorim to play the oracle at lunchtime!
But lo, a hero returns! Jonny Evans, fresh from his 22-match slumber, emerged on the training pitch like a footballing Lazarus, ready to bring his expertise to the upcoming clash against Lyon! The young knights of the realm, Kamason, Kukonki, Moorhouse, and Biancheri, sharpened their boots, eager to turn the hurdle into a Hollywood blockbuster. Meanwhile, Ayden Heaven’s celestial body was absent, tweaking an injury as if it was a guitar string.
As the United gang preps for a 2-2 showdown of mammoth proportions against Lyon, the defenders, midfield magicians, and forward flyers assembled like a superhero squad. Playmakers Casemiro and Eriksen looked set to make more moves than a chess-grandmaster-turned-ball-boy, as fans all over gear up for a match that promises to explode like popcorn kernels under the wheels of a tireless United tank! Stay tuned and keep your shin pads close!
