Germany is the place where Manchester United will visit RB Leipzig for a crucial Champions League game. We have the player ratings.
Man United had a complicated evening against RB Leipzig in Germany right in the midst of the whole Paul Pogba scandal. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to leave the French midfielder on the bench as punishment for what his agent just did against the club. It’s safe to say that after tonight, Paul might no longer wear United’s colors next season.
The result of this decision was an early 3-0 advantage from the German squad before the 70th minute of the game. Angelino, Haidara, and Kluivert scored Leipzig’s three goals to confirm Julian Nagelsmann’s status as one of the best managers in the world.
Not even Bruno Fernandes’ reaction during the final minutes was enough to prevent the Red Devils’ elimination. You are reading this correctly. Manchester United has been eliminated from the Champions League and will play the Europa League.
Pogba couldn’t help either.
During the second half, Ole decided to give Paul Pogba some minutes to see if he could help the Red Devils overcome this adverse result. Even though he scored the second goal for United, it wasn’t enough for them. With this elimination, PSG goes through to the knock-out stage next to RB Leipzig.
But the most entertaining aspect of this drama is the aftermath of the whole Paul Pogba fiasco. We will keep you posted on everything that happens after this. Nobody’s job is secured. Even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could get sacked after what happened tonight in Leipzig.
