On September 8, the new Manchester United challenged Peterborough away.

Jose Mourinho's team has reached their best fitness and mental conditioning after a week's rest, and despite playing away from home, they have suppressed Peterborough and barely given them a decent chance, easily beating this not very strong opponent 0-2.

The start of a seven-game winning streak in the league has undoubtedly put the new United in the limelight for a while, but Brentford have been better than the new United, also winning seven in a row, but they have scored 23 goals in seven games and are definitely the most attacking opponents in League Two.

Brentford's attack is also full of elements of England's iconic surname, 442, the striker is a combination of high and fast, two full-backs can attack and defend well, a central midfielder frequently inserts forward, and drags a back midfielder behind, and the two full-backs on the back line are also players with good assist ability, fast speed, interspersed back and forth.

It is precisely because the tactics of the Brentford team are full of attacking surnames, and the opponents they have faced at the beginning of the season are not strong, including the current vice-captain Cambridge United, 23rd-ranked Wrexham, Berry, Northampton, etc., Bristol City, the strongest team they have encountered, is currently ranked 8th in the league.

Of course, the strength of the opponents the new United has not faced is very good, most of them are also mid-table teams, the strongest is Cardiff, but in the second half of September, they will have to challenge strong opponents one after another.

After the win over Peterborough FC, the new Manchester United returned to their home stadium to welcome Nods County, a team that has been hovering in League C and League Two for several years, and is currently 17th in the league this season, down from the previous two seasons.

The new Manchester United lined up front with the front three of Didier Drogba, Wright Phillips and Hleb, who has performed very well since joining the new Manchester United, especially this season, when he has been in close competition with Malouda and Hleb.

In Jose Mourinho's team, it's good that the competition is fierce, and there is no need to worry that they will hurt the unity and harmony of the team because they all know that there is only one person in this team who has the most say!

That's the manager!

In midfield, Juninho Jr., Senna and Essien are still partnering in midfield, Abidal, Terry, Curtis and Toure are in the backline, and the goalkeeper is still Almunia, the Spaniard has been very consistent this season, and Mourinho has given him enough trust.

Of course, the lack of goals conceded also has a lot to do with the improvement of the defensive strength of the new Manchester United this season, the new Manchester United have been the best defensive team in the league for the past two seasons, and last season they were the team with the most goals scored and the fewest goals conceded in League C.

In this season's League Two, the new Manchester United lost the number of goals to the somewhat unexpected Brentford team, but the number of goals conceded was the fewest of the 24 teams, but this does not mean that the new Manchester United play conservatively, on the contrary, even the most critical football commentators will not think that the new Manchester United is conservative.

Martin Taylor has commented on the new Manchester United in his column many times, saying that the team's tactics have been very consistent in the past two years, and they are constantly improving, especially the quality of the players is improving rapidly, and the team's performance is becoming more and more mature.

He believes that the new Manchester United's attack is dominated by running without the ball, and the field is very smooth, wide open and close, but in the local area, there is no lack of details, such as Hleb, Juninho Jr. and others, often playing unexpected local small cooperation, which is very surprising.

The new Manchester United is best at using the width of the pitch to mobilize the opponent's defense through the players' frequent running, find the gap, and then swarm towards the gap, without leaving the opponent any respite, so as to suppress the opponent in momentum, control the rhythm of the game, and then achieve the goal of controlling the game.

This is a team with a very English flavor, aggressive, scrambling, tenacious, direct, concise, these are very in line with the English football environment, but this is just the surface, the core is that this team plays very delicately, the passing and receiving cooperation is very smooth and reasonable, and the running between the players echoes very frequently, which is difficult to defend.

Martin Taylor commented in the column that he felt it was hard to believe that there would be such a team in the English second division, and he also believed that the new United currently have some shortcomings, such as their lack of depth in the middle of the attack, and when the two wingers cannot cut inside to cooperate with the central forward, the back row in the middle is not timely enough.

To put it simply, the new United lack a figure like Paul Scholes.

Juninho Jr. excels at tempo and passing, as well as has a deep understanding of the manager's tactical intentions, but he is not a player who can play deep in the middle, he is more of a playmaking midfielder.

Looking at the lineup of the new Manchester United, Essien and Arau Diarra are defensive players, Senna has both offense and defense, but he is also stronger than attacking, De Rossi's attack is good, but his speed and skill make it difficult for him to become the Scholes of the new Manchester United.

Martin Taylor believes that if the new Manchester United can make up for this last shortcoming, I believe that their strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and maybe they can really be promoted year after year and enter the Premier League in one fell swoop!

Although Martin Taylor wrote about the shortcomings of the new United in his column, in reality, the opponents failed to identify this shortcoming in the game, because Mourinho's tactics cleverly concealed it.

He is well aware that his attack in the middle is not good, so he let Drogba retreat frequently, Senna and Juninho Jr. take turns to step forward, and Curtis of the central defender even often goes to the midfield position, which is to make up for the shortcomings of the midfield position and completely suppress the opponent.

I don't know if I've read Martin Taylor's column, they focus on defending the two wings, clamping down the attacking space of the two wingers, leaving a large gap in the middle, which is clearly bullying the new Manchester United midfield's poor attacking midfield.

However, Mourinho used iron-clad facts to fight back against the opponent, and the midfield attack did not necessarily have to rely on the central midfielder.

At the end of the first half, Curtis hit the opponent's penalty area in a sudden forward process, and after a wall-hitting cooperation with Drogba, he opened the scoring for the team, 1:0!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides, and the new United scored two goals in the 63rd and 80th minutes respectively, through Senna and Essien, who suddenly cut in the back row, to finally win 3-0 at the City Stadium.

Three days later, also at the City Stadium, in order to cope with the third round of the League Cup on the 18th, Mourinho adopted a rotation system, replaced some substitutes, and equalized twice when he was twice behind, and finally Palacio who came off the bench helped the team score a goal and won a difficult 3-2 victory over Huddersfield.

In the third round of the League Cup, the new Manchester United hosts Sheffield United!

As the only two remaining League Two teams to reach the third round of the Carabao Cup, the new Manchester United are undoubtedly in luck, while the other side to reach the third round of the Carabao Cup is Stoke City, who face Steve Bruce's Birmingham City.

In an interview before the game, Mourinho jokingly expressed his envy for the Stoke City team, and he was even willing to switch opponents with the Stoke City team, because many people had questioned Mourinho's new Manchester United and thought that his team was inferior to Steve Bruce, and he wanted to prove his ability, although he respected Bruce's contribution to the new Manchester United very much.

Speaking to the media ahead of the game, Bruce said Jose Mourinho was a fantastic manager, with the Red Rebels under his command attacking and defensively solid and, more importantly, promotion from the League 3 title, and he hopes to hear news of a new Manchester United promotion this year.

The two managers exchanged pre-match cheers and whistles as if they were ignoring their opponents, and the managers of Sheffield United and Stoke City were annoyed because they made them look like air.

This fire is directly manifested on the court.

But Mourinho is a well-known [***] fire fighting expert who is not satisfied with all kinds of firefighting, he is fearless at home and plays with Sheffield United attacking tactics, from the beginning of the game Sheffield United is a little difficult to find, after taking a two-goal lead, he let the team retreat to the defense.

Although Sheffield United reacted and launched a fierce comeback against the new Manchester United, and did score a goal, they still lost 2-1 to the City Stadium.

On the other hand, Birmingham under Bruce's coaching looked idle, easily winning Stoke City 2-0 away, which made the outside media generally believe that this is another victory under the contest between Bruce and Mourinho.

For this reason, Mourinho criticized the players in a training session the second day after the game, believing that their negligence caused the team to concede a goal, otherwise the new Manchester United would have won 2-0.

The players are very familiar with the manager's temper and know that he is angry now, and if you refute him, you can only find a more tragic disaster, so they all laugh in their hearts and choose to let you wind and rain, and I will not move.

As a result, Mourinho scolded them, and did not punish them, and continued to reuse the starting XI in the away game against Tranmere on the 22nd, and smoothly took away the three points from Birkenhead's Plendon Park.

The new Manchester United, who have won 10 in a row, are in full swing and the fans are confident about the upcoming away game against Reading, and they all believe that with the current form of the team, they can get a win at the Biscuit Man Stadium and widen the gap on the points with Reading.

But who would have thought that the day before the game, the new Manchester United received a series of unfavorable news, first the main central defender Curtis Davies will accumulate yellow cards in the game against Reading and suspension, and then the main central midfielder Juninho Jr. was injured in pre-match training, although the injury is not very serious, but the absence of this game is a foregone conclusion.

However, to add insult to injury, it comes from the competition!
