I agree with you Manchester United played better in the second half than they did in the first half maybe if they started the game in such tempo and strength they wouldn't have conceived that number of goals in the first half and for the fact that Manchester United could score three goals in the game it would have been a 50:50 game for both teams but they failed to put a good performance in the first half and unluckily for them they fell 4 goals down already before the wake up and it was already too late to come back in the game.
If Manchester United had scored 6 goals in the second half and at least played a draw in this match, then it would still be possible to say something positive about the team's game in the third half of the match, or at least United would not have conceded two more goals after their goal and at least played a decent 4-3. However, even for a loss with a minimum score in football, three points are not given, so the result would still be negative. Therefore, only the subsequent Manchester United matches will be able to show whether the team can hold a blow, that it was just an unfortunate misunderstanding and the team got out of the crisis. Or this loss will again plunge Manchester United into a black streak from which the team has started to get out of it recently. In any case, it is not necessary to draw far-reaching conclusions from this defeat and MU still has a lot of time to join the fight for at least a place in the Champions League.
I agree that a loss is a loss, because they got no points from the match, it's not a positive thing, but scoring three goals in a match is not that bad, and conceding 6 is really bad, so I don't know what to feel about it, we might have to wait and see what they're going to do in Eutopa League and their next match in the premier league to judge them.
It will give a huge pressure to MU again. MU has been winning some matches in a row but once it was facing a big team and it was always facing huge problem with its performance. 3 goals meant nothing while MU was still losing another 3 goals again. It seems like that MU may win when it will be against low tier team in the europa league but the different situation to compare manchester city with club that played in the europa league.
City is farrrr better compared with the next team that will be faced by MU in the upcoming match in europa league
