By now, it shouldn’t surprise us when United plays a solid performance. There’s a clear path being made, and one needs to be really naive, biased or, even, blind to miss it.

Escrevi, no final da participaçāo nesse mesmo Euro o seguinte:“Em relaçāo a Roberto Martinez: terminou a lua-de-mel! Ainda bem! Porque, ao despir-se, despiu a equipa. Nāo percebi a preparaçāo, Read
