Manchester United vs Chelsea
In today's match, Manchester United play long time English League rivals Chelsea. In this match, Manchester United defended dreadfully, as seen by the first goal that was scored by Chelsea, in the first thirty seconds of the match. Chris Smalling did not defend well at all, and left a man completely open after a turnover in play, and did an absolutely horrible job of marking space to recover, and it forced a goal. The second goal came from a Chelsea corner kick, and deflected off of a Manchester United player straight to a Chelsea player, who was left unmarked by non other than Chris Smalling. The third goal came from Eden Hazard, who was being marked by Smalling and had an easy shot to bend around the Man U defender. It could have been a simple block on Smalling's end, given he did not stick out the wrong foot to try to block it. The fourth goal came from a very skilled Chelsea midfielder, who dribbled into space left open by Smalling, and forced him to step after a fake shot, and then which lead to another goal. The match ended 4-0 Chelsea, and was a complete failure for the reds. Smalling is normally a very good defender, but the lad had a very poor performance today when the reds needed him most. Such is football.

Manchester United vs Fenerbahçe
Manchester United played Fenerbahçe today in a Europa League match. Manchester United rocked the Turkish team 4-0 in the first half, scored by the young players on the team. The scorers include Paul Pogba (2), Anthony Martial, and Jesse Lingard. In the second half, Robin van Persie of Fenerbahçe managed to score a good goal against United, making it 4-1. Van Persie used to play football for Manchester United and was loved by all fans, and as he scored the United fans cheered even as he scored against United. No love was lost for van Persie it would seem. Overall it was a brilliant match of football on Manchester United's part.

Manchester United vs Liverpool
Manchester United has did not play in this past weekend/week, as there was an international break within the FIFA Federation. This allows the players to play for their countries and preform on an international level. Manchester United plays Liverpool in the upcoming Monday, and the two are big long lasting rivals. Liverpool, in my personal opinion, is the weaker team. Liverpool also has not won a premier league title in over twenty years, as Manchester United won the title back in 2012. I think United will come out on top on this match, but only time will tell, the match has yet to be played. Anything could happen in football.

Manchester United vs Stoke City
In this match up, Manchester Untied managed to somehow draw a tie against the weaker side, Stoke City. Personally, I think stoke is a quality team for what they are, a lower level premier league team, but they are not anywhere near the same quality level as Manchester United. The players on stoke did an astounding job all around, both in the attack as well as the defensive aspect of the match, but Manchester United once again played poorly. Ibrahimovic scored for United, and it was a quality goal, but that was the only notable United moment's throughout the entire match. It is becoming more and more frustrating to deal with United's inconsistency. Some matches, they play very well, and the next match they could get absolutely battered.
