Match review: Manchester United 2-0 Leeds United

Pre-season has kicked off, and with it United ventured over to Oslo to take on the horrible sods from Yorkshire.

It was a weird tale of two halves: the first, with the more senior players, showed a lot more evidence of tactical style and ambition; Mount was a workhorse in midfield flitting between a creative pass gambler ala Bruno and the clean-up ala Casemiro. Amad looked lively on the attack, Hannibal and Mainoo bossed the midfield, and Alvaro Fernandez continued his strong form from last season's Preston loan at LB.

The second half saw a complete overhaul and swap of the on-field 11. The tactics fell away, as is the case with less experienced, youthful players, but the skill was evident for all regardless.

A killer throughball from Isak Hansen-Aaroen put Noam Emeran through for a tidy finish past the Leeds keeper to make it 1-0, and later Emeran took his turn to play assistant and put a beautiful angled ball through the Leeds back line to an unmarked Joe Hugill who slotted home calmly.

Post-game stats would be useful to see, but on the eye test alone it's hard not to get excited. Emeran was wonderful on the ball, reminiscent of Gianfranco Zola with his agile movement. Isak Hansen-Aaroen also put in a big showing with his attacking movement and positioning, keeping the passing flowing.

There were three big revelations: - Mainoo seems first team ready (as backup ofc) - Hannibal's maturity (thanks Birmingham City) - United seem to have become a team that likes to be in possession

Fans have DESPAIRED for months and years at the hiding away of certain players for their lack of willing to be on the ball. Not everyone needs to be a baller, but even those who are less technically proficient should be brave enough and competent enough to do the basics: give and go passing, move into space to show or receive the ball, be aware of where to move the ball on to and who's around you.

Today's game was versus a Championship team, freshly relegated from the Premier League, but Leeds aren't awful and this was a derby. Lyon next Wednesday will be a sterner test but the start has been promising. Roll on Murrayfield.

Rashford replaced by McTominay. Wow, rub a little salt in that wound why don’t you Ten? 😂 But he’s been predictably one-dimensional today and Villa had him figured out. I’m still trying to figure out why we’re letting Alvaro Fernandez go to Benfica, Lindelof should not be playing at left back.

Shaw-ly not....

THIS pun is much better. Back in my groove. Unlike Luke Shaw, who's reported to be out for 'an extended period' (see below) with an unspecified muscle injury.

This poses a headache for Erik Ten Hag, with Tyrell Malacia also out with an unspecified injury which the club claims he sustained last year. Brandon Williams has just left the club on loan to Kieran McKenna's Ipswich Town, which leaves United with two options: an out-of-position Diogo Dalot OR the promising youth talent of Álvaro Fernández. Who to pick though?

Dalot has more senior game time, more experience, confident with both feet and knows the teammates around him. The downside is that he's obviously less suited to LB and less comfortable on his left foot, which makes him a bit predictable on the left.

Fernández in contrast has less game experience but was Preston's Player of the Year last season. What he lacks in maturity he makes up in with tenacity and drive, and showed he can handle the physicality in the Championship whilst retaining grace and agility on the ball.

Personally, I'd punt for Alvaro. He'd be a risk versus Arsenal but I think he's worth a start against Nottingham Forest to prove himself on the big stage. If he does really well, reward him with the Arsenal game, otherwise spare him the risk and play him again after that match.

I do rate Luke Shaw though, and I hope his return is in weeks and not months. If Malacia comes back during the international break then I'm less fearful, but relying on Fernández or Dalot at LB for an extended period is not a cause for optimism. Here's hoping to be proved wrong.

The Survivors (Part 1)

In alphabetical order.

The photos and some of the information are from Sociedad de la Nieve

Born on April 19th 1948, “Fito” Strauch used to play for the Old Christians rugby team, but he didn’t at the time of the crash. He was invited on the trip by his cousin Eduardo Strauch.

He was part of the trio known as “the cousins” (Fito, Eduardo and Daniel Fernandez). Fito and Eduardo were double cousins, as their mothers were sisters and their fathers were brothers, whose sister was Daniel’s mother.

The cousins played an essential leadership role in the mountains, as they took the responsibility of cutting the meat off the dead bodies and rationing the portions.

Fito had many brilliant ideas. The boys had a hard time melting snow, as shaking handfuls in a bottle was far too arduous and tiring in the rarefied air of the mountains. Fito figured out that each plane seat had a piece of aluminum that could be folded into a device filled with snow, which was then left in the sun to melt. The resulting water would then be poured into a bottle.

He also came up with the idea of tying seat cushions to their feet so they could walk on snow without sinking to their waist. As if those were not enough, he manufactured sunglasses with pieces of nylon taken from the seats and glass cut from the front windows of the plane (the ones in the cockpit, which were a shade darker than the windows in the cabin)

Born on November 1st 1947, “Pancho” Delgado was a law student. He was invited on the trip by his friend Gaston Costemalle, who played for the Old Christians rugby team.

Due to his eloquence, the other survivors asked him to address the journalists in the press conference held upon their return to Uruguay and explain their decision to eat the bodies of their dead friends.

The book “Alive” by Piers Paul Read paints an unfavorable picture of Pancho, claiming he already had a “lawyer’s mind” and hoarded food behind everyone’s back. In his own book, however, fellow survivor Nando Parrado comes to his defense, saying that all survivors - due to the desperate circumstances they found themselves in - tried to take advantage of the others at some point, but Pancho was resented the most because he got away with it more often.

Pancho had a girlfriend at the time of the crash, Susana Sartori. The couple eventually got married and had four children (María Federica, Alfredo, Joaquín and Agustina).

Born on March 31st 1953, Alvaro wasn’t part of the team nor did he attend the Stella Maris private school as most of the survivors. He knew some of the other passengers on a superficial level, as they lived in the same rich neighborhood in Montevideo. I have yet to find out why he was on the trip at all, but as soon as I do I’ll update you guys.

He broke his left leg when the plane crashed. Fellow survivor Roberto Canessa, a medical student, did his best to put the bones back into their places. Throughout the 72 days, Alvaro remained close to Canessa, who was very protective of him.

Alvaro had a girlfriend at the time of the crash, Margarite Arocena. The couple got married and had four children.

Born on July 24th 1953, “Tintín” played rugby for the Old Christians and stood out for his physical strength. His volatile personality caused some fights, but he never questioned the group’s decisions.

Because of his strength, Tintín was initially enrolled as one of the survivors who were to leave the fuselage in search of help. After three days, however, his fellow expeditionaries (Roberto Canessa and Nando Parrado) realized the trip was gonna be much longer than anticipated and sent Tintín back to the fuselage so they could keep his portions of meat.

Born on November 23rd 1951, Bobby was a Stella Maris alumnus and played for Old Christians. He had a very passive attitude towards the whole ordeal, as if he didn’t care whether he lived or died. As soon as the fuselage stopped its descent down the mountainside, Bobby exited the wreckage, sat on the snow and lit a cigarette.

He melted snow when the others forced him to, but didn’t do much else. When the cousins threatened to cut off his supply of meat, Bobby shrugged and said “That seems fair”.

Bobby had six children (Roberto, Federico, Sofía, Josefina, Milagros and Diego) and now lives a quiet life as a farmer.

Born on October 31st 1953, Carlitos was the son of a famous Uruguayan painter, Carlos Páez Villaró, who searched non-stop for the wreckage of the plane and did not rest until his son was found.

Carlitos was a very spoiled boy (he had a nanny!), but the experience in the Andes built his character and soon enough he was in charge of important tasks such as building a wall made of chairs and suitcases to protect the severed fuselage from the cold and praying the rosary every night with his companions. He also knew how to sew, which came in handy when the survivors decided to make a sleeping bag for the expeditionaries.

Several years after the accident, Carlitos struggled with addiction, but he fortunately bounced back. He has two children, Maria Elena de los Andes and Carlos Diego (named after his deceased friends Gustavo Diego Nicholich and Diego Storm).

Born on February 12th 1946, Daniel is the second oldest survivor. He was unharmed in the crash.

As previously mentioned, Daniel and his cousins played a key leadership role after the death of team captain Marcelo Perez. Daniel’s serenity, in particular, calmed the others down when fights erupted.

Born on August 13th 1947, Eduardo was a Stella Maris alumnus and confounder of the Old Christians, as well as a former player. Nicknamed “the German” due to his ancestry, he was an Architecture student and the most worldly of the group, as he had previously traveled to Europe.

Eduardo invited his cousins Adolfo Strauch and Daniel Fernandez on the trip.

Stay tuned for PART 2!
