Manchester United faced Real Sociedad and got a draw (1-1) for the 2nd leg, next week at Manchester. At a first glance, a good result. Without a doubt. But, looking at the performance, there were a couple of things that came to my mind: it’s clear why and how The Premier League intends to dominate Read

Surprise in Manchester… or not!
