Ex-Red Devil names the player who had “his best performance in a United shirt” despite disappointing draw
Former Manchester United midfielder Luke Chadwick did not come away feeling too optimistic about his old club after their disappointing 1-1 draw away to Burnley last night.
The Red Devils made a strong start to the game but couldn’t maintain that performance in the second half, when Burnley arguably looked the more likely winners.
Chadwick was far from impressed with his old club’s drop-off in performance levels, and he was pleased to see an improved performance from Jadon Sancho, whilst also highlighting Paul Pogba’s performance as a positive.
Overall, however, the ex-Red Devil ace wants to see better results than United have shown in recent games if he is to feel more generally optimistic about the side’s fortunes this season.
“It’s definitely two points dropped in terms of where Man United are trying to get to,” Chadwick told CaughtOffside.
“It was very similar to the Middlesbrough game in the FA Cup – a very impressive first half, and then a disappointing second half. Burnley were probably the better team for the majority of the second half and had chances to take the lead. United probably could’ve put the game to bed in the first half, but VAR didn’t help much! It could’ve been 3-0 at half time, but they didn’t take their chances.
“1-0’s always a dangerous score-line and it could’ve gone either way really. It’s definitely two points dropped in that quest for Champions League football.
“Whatever XI United put out should be a strong team. I thought this team worked well together, the two wide men looked dangerous, and Jadon Sancho probably had his best performance in a United shirt.
