Without Yang Xiaozhuang, Rashford, Aliyu, Varane and other players, Manchester United still beat Porto 1:3 away, which shocked the European football world.

After this game, Manchester United locked in the top spot in Group H almost two rounds in advance, and this performance was even more unexpected to many people.

At the beginning of the season, with the transfer of Lukaku, Pogba and Matic, Mourinho's departure, and the successor of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer promoted a large number of young players from the reserve team to the first team. In everyone's opinion, this "Red Devils" who just recovered, the results of the new season... will definitely be a problem!

But the new season has been almost three months since it started, and Manchester United's performance... is surprisingly good!

It should even be said to be... excellent!

Except for the "Manchester City Derby" that lost 0-1 to Manchester City at home in the league, Manchester United won all the games, whether it was the Community Shield, the European Super Cup, or in the Premier League, the Champions League, and the League Cup, Manchester United won all without exception.

But even though Manchester United has won many games before, in the outside world, this is because of the outstanding performance of "God Yang" to the team. Once the new Manchester United king suffers from injury or loses his good condition, then... Manchester United's performance will definitely fall into trouble immediately!

Similar situations are really common in football history. When Serie A was the most popular, the "God of War" Batistuta often led Fiorentina to the top in Serie A with his own strength, but as the season deepened, Bati's condition declined, and Fiorentina's record would plummet and lose the qualification to compete for the championship.

Nowadays, the competition in the Premier League is becoming more and more fierce and cruel. Both the strength of each team and the level of the league are far superior to the "Small World Cup" of that year. If there is a problem with China Yang, Manchester United will probably be surpassed by their competitors in minutes.

This potential crisis is also applicable to the Champions League. China Yang, who only played in the first three rounds of group stages, has already ranked first at the Champions League scorer list with 8 goals, which shows how relied on this super scorer who emerged last season.

Therefore, although major European giants and several championship-level teams in the Premier League temporarily lag behind Manchester United, they are not in a hurry. A season is long, and a temporary excellence cannot prove anything.

But now... the situation is different!

The game where Manchester United beat Porto away has allowed many people who are staring at the "Red Devils" to see some new situations... Maybe it's only now that Manchester United really reveals some of their trump cards!

Porto, coached by Concesan, is definitely not a weak team. After all, it was also a team in the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season. Its strength is really not bad, but Manchester United defeated them without much effort away. The key is that several main players from Manchester United, including "God Yang", did not play!

If we look at it this way... Manchester United's competitiveness is not bad!

"Mr. Football": Manchester United beat Porto away and did not use all their strength in the game. This is enough to prove that this young "Red Devils" are becoming more and more powerful now. Perhaps giving these young people from Manchester United some time to grow, the team's combat effectiveness will go further and this season will have the capital to defend the Champions League.

"Kicker": The "Red Devils" famous in Europe are one of the few top teams in European football. Although this season, this team is in a critical stage of alternating between old and new, they still have very good results under the leadership of China Yang. The game of defeating Porto away at the Dragon Stadium marks the maturity of Manchester United's young players, who already have the capital to defend the Champions League this season.

"Milan Sports": While our Naples, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus were still working hard for the Champions League group, Manchester United, as the defending Champions League champion, has almost locked in the top spot in the group ahead of schedule. It is hard to imagine that this is a summer when it has experienced a huge turbulent team like changing coaches and selling off stars. Manchester United's performance this season has allowed us to re-see the successful experience of the past football path, which is to rely on the fighting spirit of youth training players to let the team play all its combat effectiveness and ensure the team's performance. This "old" path that Manchester United has taken is something we have all taken, but as modern football is increasingly affected by capital, this path is becoming more and more difficult to walk. However, for Italian teams whose economic conditions are affected today, this path is more worthy of reference.

"French Football": It is completely different from Paris Saint-Germain's gold-dollar policy. Manchester United once again proves that modern football has not only one way to success. They have sent a large number of players to the first team this season with their excellent youth training level and proved their correctness with their record. Not only did they defeat Manchester City, which had huge investment with 9 wins, 1 loss and 27 points in the Premier League, but they also booked the top spot in the group stage in the Champions League in advance. More importantly, Manchester United's youth training players have proved their combat effectiveness through actual combat. As these young players mature, Manchester United's combat effectiveness will inevitably become stronger and stronger.

"442": Even in Porto's away game, it is not just a victory in the Champions League group stage. The "Red Devils" have proved the reliability of the young people in the team through this game. Without Young, Rashford, Varane, Herrera, and other players, they still won at the Dragon Stadium. This means that Manchester United's overall strength is rapidly improving. Even if the team experienced a huge change at the beginning of this season, they have the ability to regain their peak form again.

Manchester United had previously beaten Hamburg, CSKA Moscow and Porto in the Champions League group stage, with even the smallest score difference of 4:0, but none of them received the high ratings that they received when they beat Porto 1:3 away this time.

The supporters of the "Red Devils" were also very encouraged after watching this game. After the start of this season, they were always worried, afraid that the team's treasure "God Yang" would be injured at any time, but now it seems... it doesn't seem that they need to be as anxious as before!

The victory at the Dragon Stadium is enough to prove that even if Manchester United lacks "God Yang", they still have excellent combat effectiveness. Even if they can no longer easily defeat those top teams, they still have first-class standards.

A away victory brings Manchester United more than just three-pointers in the standings. The most important thing is that it greatly improves the confidence of the team and fans.
