Manchester United vs. Fiorentina Moments…
Manchester United finished their pre-season on a high note, drawing 1-1 with Fiorentina before winning a thrilling penalty shootout. This match had it all, including an own goal from Robin Gosens that some say was aimed more accurately than a homing pigeon! Fiorentina struck first with Simon Sohm finding the net from a corner kick. The game ended in a good-spirited draw, but United triumphed in penalties 5-4 to seize the Snapdragon Cup! Amidst the action, Benjamin Sesko, United’s shiny new multimillion-pound signing from RB Leipzig, was unveiled to the fans like a superhero arriving just in time to save the day. With new players like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Diego Leon, Old Trafford was buzzing like a bee in a flower shop, hoping the signings will solve last season’s goal drought.
Bryan Mbeumo impressed everyone with his efforts despite not being fully fit after his lengthy travelogue involving three different teams! When he was subbed off, written in the stars was an embrace with manager Ruben Amorim that seemed straight out of a cheesy sports movie. Not to be outdone, fan-favorite David De Gea made a warm appearance, receiving applause so thunderous it could be heard from outer space. A notable highlight was a brand-new corner routine led by Carlos Fernandes. Mbeumo and Amad teamed up for a clever play that made the crowd wonder if they had just caught a magic show. Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez, recovering from injury, spent his time waving to fans—the kind of celebrity greeting that’s familiar only to royal families and pop icons!
