Ruud van Nistelrooy is one step to become one of the best thing to happen to Manchester United after the dismissed of Erik Ten Hag. He's prominent and have proven himself worthy of the managerial position, thrashing Leicester City 5-2 in EFL Cup was actually something good to the ears of the Red Devils board and supporters. Perhaps his work is not finish yet, having the main test in few days coming. Manchester United vs Chelsea this weekend, one of the big games to watch this season. I'm definitely pausing all my weekend activities inother to create more time to relaxed my nerves for the game.
Who's placing a wager this weekend when it comes to weekend games? I'm sticking to the easier games that are easy to predict and not the big games that are complex. Manchester United ranked 14th position and Chelsea are 5th position, both elite sides, dignify and fighting to bounce back to epic form this season. This a game that Chelsea ought not to underestimate Manchester United because any slight chance given to the Red Devils, they will take it with much more confidence, it will be easy for Enzo Maresca to fight for three solid points against Ruud van Nistelrooy?
Manchester United recent victory in the Carabao Cup doesn’t guarantee that Ruud van Nistelrooy will be the next big thing for the club. In my opinion, they simply played well and were a bit fortunate to win the match. EPL games are hard to predict, when betting on this weekend’s games, I plan to take some risks. Ruud van Nistelrooy is showing signs of bringing this mindset. If he can maintain this energy against Chelsea, it will make it very difficult for Chelsea to win the match.
Do you think E. Maresca would just fold his arms and watch the Manchester team dominate his boys?. Of course not, the pattern of play changed for the United boys and as such there is expected that there would be a good counter tactics from the blues. It's still very early to compare Manchester United performance to best Chelsea, although I know that meetings between the two clubs are always a battle regardless of their forms.
But let's not rush... 90 minutes would definitely decide whether it's the tactics of V. Nistelrooy or that of E.Maresca that would be prevalent.
