Man United was boring but they still did the job, and that was to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League.

It was so dull there’s almost nothing to explain about the Red Devils. The most exciting event of their group doing was how they overcame Juventus in the Turin’s backyard. An amazing accomplishment for a man who was under loads of pressure.

Jose’s way kind of works effectively here in this competition. United gave up a tiny amount of four goals while scoring a measly seven in return. But those were the numbers that saw him collect 10 points with this United side.

What’s even more exciting, and something I’m really looking forward to? Is how will Ole step into the Champions League box. Will he strike out or will round the bases for home? The fairytale started already, it’s when will the ending happen, that is the question.
