Long Throws: Man Utd’s Secret Weapon?…
So, Manchester United decided it’s time to embrace the ancient art of the long throw, and who better to lead this crusade than their set-piece wizard, Carlos Fernandes! Poor Fernandes, tossed into the fiery cauldron of Old Trafford pressure, soon found himself juggling not just the ball but the expectations of an entire fan base.
Carlos, the man amidst the storm, was handed the task of spicing up United’s set-pieces—a role he’d nailed alongside his buddy Ruben Amorim back at Casa Pia. But when Bournemouth rocked up to Old Trafford and gave United a spanking courtesy of some sloppy set-piece defending, all eyes (and fingers) were pointed at Carlos. Amorim, the knight in shining armor, galloped into the spotlight, declaring, “Blame me, folks! Not my main man Carlos!” Phew, talk about dodging a bullet!
Fast forward a few tantrums and tactical tweaks, and the long throw became the new talk of the town! Fernandes has Diogo Dalot launching the ball like he’s in the Olympic javelin team, with big lads like Harry Maguire ready to pounce. While a goal remains as elusive as Bigfoot, fans are hopeful. Who knows, maybe the transfer market will bring in a player with a throw that rivals a catapult! Keep an eye out for those summer shopping lists!
