That reminded me of Rafael! Although with Rafael it was a bit funny, he was small and unintimidating looking, but always got into stuff like this
Me too. That’s how a senior should do for the youngsters.The commentator said "Cavani did not need to get involved" and I openly said "He saw his 19 year old teammate being ganged up on by 2 blokes. He absolutely did need to get involved."
That yellow card probably brought him a hell of a lot of respect in Greenwoods eyes.
Come on guy, this isn't Football manager. These things don't happen in a vacuum, that's what you'd do for your teammate, that's what you'd want your teammate to do for you.It was absolutely unnecessary and foolish. Nothing to be gained from it; but risks a red if he just touches somebody a bit too high and them misses the final.
Very silly.
Perfect post. I can add or subtract nothing.He’s a total winner like Bruno. We still have too many highlights players for my liking. Gotta fight for everything and I don’t see the rest of our forwards busting a gut working for each other or even trying to find each other. We are 1 dimensional without him.
This just reminded me of Robin van Persie. The only man to have almost gotten killed on a football pitch only to rush into a physical altercation right afterI did like how Cavani quickly got involved to back up Greenwood. Clearly likes the kid and wasn't gonna let him get had by the Roma players. Reminder of the good old days when a United player never went into a ruck alone.
Winning hearts and minds our Matador is
I love it. Thanks for sharing.Older Utd., players have always defended the younger players when they were being targeted by older players. However, there was one exception as I remember many years ago. A young David Pegg was getting kicked from pillar to post by a certain defender, until a young Duncan Edwards changed placed with him, the defender tried the same with Duncan, it was like running into a brick wall, the defender crumpled on the gound whilst the young Duncan strode forward with the ball. After that the defender was as we say now never in the game.

It's one of the only negatives of his year, that he hasn't been able to experience Old Trafford. Personally I love the guy, he is exactly the kind of player that United should be going after. I hope he stays. I honestly can't understand how PSG benched him, they must have some seriously good strikers if they were willing to let this guy rot on the bench.If he stays imagine the reception he'll get next season from OT crowd?
Tbf Bruno and Telles get in right at the end to back him upGreat to see, shame Mason fecked off and left him there to get ganged up on
Used to love it when some player would try and step up and Zlatan would get involved and give them a bit back whilst smirking. Best thing is he's a taekwondo black belt and knows that he would absolutely wipe the floor with them.Always great to see. Lingard used to do it a lot for Rashford and I remember Zlatan doing it as other recent examples.
Standing ovation when crowds are back, hopefully by the end of the season.If he stays imagine the reception he'll get next season from OT crowd?
None of the English players in United got this type of temper. I guess it’s Cavani, Fred, Bruno that has most cojones in the squad. McTom and Pogba sometimes too.This got me thinking. Who actually are the ‘hard men’ at Utd now?
Maguire ?
Mctomminy ?
Bailey ?
Struggling to be honest
that 94 team comes to mind when things like this happen
‘You want to play ? Let’s play
You want to fight ? Let’s fight ‘
great times
Herrera used to get involved like that a lot to be fair to himBeautiful to see. I don't know whether it's conformation bias clouding my judgement but in our worst days post-Fergie I don't think this basic kind of team spirit stuff has been happening. Yes you could argue it's handbags that players don't need to involve themselves in but for me sticking up for your teammates on a basic level is part and parcel of every level of football. Well done Edi
I probably should be ashamed to confess that one of most gratifying moments as a fan was that elbow to Mings' skull.Used to love it when some player would try and step up and Zlatan would get involved and give them a bit back whilst smirking. Best thing is he's a taekwondo black belt and knows that he would absolutely wipe the floor with them.
Love the way he held them up like "feck you doing bro?"
Scholes?He’s proper menacing, get the feeling he could really handle himself. I’d have him up there in the tier just below the likes of Big Dunc, Keano and Scholesy for hardest PL players of all time.
Haha, yes! That was brilliant!Him explaining to the referee he was only separating them was hilarious
Think am in love with the guy.
