themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-10--One of two 'bogey' teams await City if they get past Real Madrid

The only time Manchester City have ever beaten Juventus , assistant manager Brian Kidd scored the winner !
But the Blues may need to end that 44-year wait for a victory if they are to reach the Champions League semi-finals next month .
Of course , City need to complete the job against Real Madrid in the last-16 before they can even think about taking part in the Portugal-based tournament for the last eight .
And Juventus have to overturn a 1-0 deficit from their first leg , which was away to Lyon , before they can consider crossing swords @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Juve are favourites to progress from their outstanding last-16 ties – and if the bookies have it right , that would see them meet in Portugal between August 12-15 .
The Blues have played Juve six times in total , and Kidd ’ s strike in 1976 – which was overturned by the Italian club ’ s 2-0 win in Turin a fortnight later – remains their sole triumph .
The two teams met again in the Uefa Cup in 2010 , in two group games , and those two meetings were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on how to engineer a way out of a competition in which they were not interested without losing any pride .
They somehow contrived to draw all six of their group games , including two 1-1 outcomes against City , and go out without losing !
The second of those games , played in minus 12 temperatures in the Stadio Olimpico , at the foot of the Alps , attracted just 7,000 fans and saw Roberto Mancini give young reserve player Chris Chantler a substitute appearance as a birthday present .
The two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the 2015-16 Champions League , and City managed to lose both games against the Italians but still topped the group by winning all four games against Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach .
That was the start of their best performance in the competition , as they saw off Dynamo Kiev and Paris St Germain in the knockout phase to set up a semi-final against Real Madrid – which they lost 1-0 on aggregate .
City also have an underwhelming record against the other potential quarter-final opponents , Lyon .
The two teams met @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City were shocked in a 2-1 home defeat .
They also had to twice come from behind in France to secure a 2-2 draw in the return , with goals from Aymeric Laporte and Sergio Aguero .

If City do reach the quarter-finals and then see off either Juventus or Lyon , they face another tie against old European foes , with the team to emerge from games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Chelsea being slated as their opponent .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-10--Paul Pogba has finally got what he needs at Manchester United

There was not a minute on the clock at Villa Park when Harry Maguire hollered , 'Paul !
Paul ! '
Victor Lindelof had the ball but the Manchester United defenders knew who they should give it to .
Paul Pogba had been threatening a first goal from open play since February of last year and his caressed finish at Aston Villa epitomised the equanimity of his form .
Pogba 's passing accuracy has been 90 per cent or higher in four of the six games he has appeared in since returning , with the lowest a still-lofty 84 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ undeniable first XI next to his neighbour and friend Nemanja Matic , a specialist defensive midfielder willing to hold the fort and let his partner charge forward , and a proper playmaker ahead of them .
Just under two years ago , some were convinced Pogba could not operate in a midfield axis when he played some of his best football for United in said role in the first half of 2017-18 .
Pogba 's partner was Matic and the playmaker was Henrikh Mkhitaryan .
Bruno Fernandes is not as flaky as Mkhitaryan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 months in Manchester .
The obsession over Pogba 's positioning and the theory he could only operate on the left of a midfield trident was killed by France 's World Cup triumph .
Regardless of the isolated sequence of games , Pogba operated from a deeper role in a 4-2-3-1 formation next to N'Golo Kante with Antoine Griezmann ahead of them .
`` It 's for him to understand why he was so good , especially in the second part of the competition , quarter-finals , semi-finals , the final , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absolutely brilliant , '' Jose Mourinho opined .
Amid a fraught atmosphere and the unravelling of their relationship , most deemed that a barb when Mourinho 's analysis was legitimate and now appears prescient .
Pogba was trialled as a playmaker at Liverpool and Chelsea in 2016 ; experiments that concluded he was not a No.10 .
Such is the creative burden he has had to shoulder for much of the last four years at United the club Twitter account this week still described Pogba as a 'playmaker ' .
Now United have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ striker , Pogba has been liberated and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is replicating what Didier Deschamps did .
Pogba 's telepathy with Bruno Fernandes is remarkably effortless for two players who have started four games together and evinced by the classy side-footer at Villa Park ; where Pogba switched from dormant to dominant as soon as Fernandes went to clip the ball .
Some of the more critical voices who have worked with Pogba at Carrington were adamant he thrives most when he is a 'nobody ' .
Pogba was surrounded by Gianluigi Buffon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Andrea Pirlo , Arturo Vidal and the like at Juventus .
France 's World Cup final XI featured Griezmann , Kante , Kylian Mbappe , and Raphael Varane .
Pogba is hardly a 'nobody ' in a formidable United but no longer alone in the world-class category with Fernandes a teammate .
Others are either on the cusp of attaining that status or at least destined to ; Mason Greenwood may be the academy 's most natural and spectacular success story since the Class of '92 , Anthony Martial is sharper at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underperforming , Marcus Rashford is having his standout season .
`` From behind I just enjoy it , '' Pogba said prior to the Villa game .
`` I ’ m enjoying just watching Bruno , Rashford , Martial and Mason , who all played the last game , and seeing them score goals .
You just keep applauding , it ’ s beautiful… they make me enjoy football every time ! ''
Pogba 's popularity at United has not waned , irrespective of his plans , and as recently as this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was in Pogba 's and United 's interests that he leave .
High-level sources at the club insist Pogba is 'highly regarded ' and his professionalism on the pre-season tour was not compromised by the public flirtation with Real Madrid .

There was not a minute on the clock at Villa Park when Harry Maguire hollered, 'Paul! Paul!' Victor Lindelof had the ball but the Manchester United defenders knew who they should give it to.
Paul Pogba had been threatening a first goal from open play since February of last year and his caressed finish at Aston Villa epitomised the equanimity of his form. Pogba's passing accuracy has been 90 per cent or higher in four of the six games he has appeared in since returning, with the lowest a still-lofty 84%.
He has slotted back into an undeniable first XI next to his neighbour and friend Nemanja Matic, a specialist defensive midfielder willing to hold the fort and let his partner charge forward, and a proper playmaker ahead of them.
Just under two years ago, some were convinced Pogba could not operate in a midfield axis when he played some of his best football for United in said role in the first half of 2017-18. Pogba's partner was Matic and the playmaker was Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Bruno Fernandes is not as flaky as Mkhitaryan and is going to last more than 18 months in Manchester.
The obsession over Pogba's positioning and the theory he could only operate on the left of a midfield trident was killed by France's World Cup triumph. Regardless of the isolated sequence of games, Pogba operated from a deeper role in a 4-2-3-1 formation next to N'Golo Kante with Antoine Griezmann ahead of them.
"It's for him to understand why he was so good, especially in the second part of the competition, quarter-finals, semi-finals, the final, where he was, in my opinion, absolutely brilliant," Jose Mourinho opined. Amid a fraught atmosphere and the unravelling of their relationship, most deemed that a barb when Mourinho's analysis was legitimate and now appears prescient.
Pogba was trialled as a playmaker at Liverpool and Chelsea in 2016; experiments that concluded he was not a No.10. Such is the creative burden he has had to shoulder for much of the last four years at United the club Twitter account this week still described Pogba as a 'playmaker'.
Now United have an elite 10 to play off the striker, Pogba has been liberated and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is replicating what Didier Deschamps did. Pogba's telepathy with Bruno Fernandes is remarkably effortless for two players who have started four games together and evinced by the classy side-footer at Villa Park; where Pogba switched from dormant to dominant as soon as Fernandes went to clip the ball.

Some of the more critical voices who have worked with Pogba at Carrington were adamant he thrives most when he is a 'nobody'. Pogba was surrounded by Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and the like at Juventus. France's World Cup final XI featured Griezmann, Kante, Kylian Mbappe, and Raphael Varane.
Pogba is hardly a 'nobody' in a formidable United but no longer alone in the world-class category with Fernandes a teammate. Others are either on the cusp of attaining that status or at least destined to; Mason Greenwood may be the academy's most natural and spectacular success story since the Class of '92, Anthony Martial is sharper at the tip of the arrow and, though underperforming, Marcus Rashford is having his standout season.
"From behind I just enjoy it," Pogba said prior to the Villa game. "I’m enjoying just watching Bruno, Rashford, Martial and Mason, who all played the last game, and seeing them score goals. You just keep applauding, it’s beautiful… they make me enjoy football every time!"
Pogba's popularity at United has not waned, irrespective of his plans, and as recently as this year the players closest to him felt it was in Pogba's and United's interests that he leave. High-level sources at the club insist Pogba is 'highly regarded' and his professionalism on the pre-season tour was not compromised by the public flirtation with Real Madrid.
United have stopped treading on eggshells around Pogba and are no longer attempting to airbrush some of his or his agent's quotes from history. Things are so harmonious Solskjaer is openly optimistic the club will negotiate a new contract and Pogba is doing the talking whereas Mino Raiola isn't.
The caveats are whenever Ole Gunnar Solskjaer alludes to something the opposite happens and Pogba dodged a question about his future at Villa Park. Raiola, ineffectual on the record, resorted to a desperate lockdown plant in a vain attempt to entice United to eventually sell Pogba.
While there is still no vaccination for COVID-19 United have at least inoculated themselves from Raiola for at least a year. They are well placed to lift two trophies and Pogba was genuine when he said winning the Premier League title was 'the goal'.
A basketball enthusiast, Pogba will have doubtless tuned into The Last Dance, and watching a serial winner go about unfinished business is ample motivation for maybe his own last dance with United.
They have got him back on the ball.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-11--Solskjaer can be to Man United what Zidane is to Real Madrid

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has silenced many of his critics in recent weeks .
Those who doubted the Norwegian would be able to turn Manchester United around and put his own stamp on the Old Trafford outfit have been left discredited by the Reds ’ recent run of form , going 17 games unbeaten .
It ’ s not just United ’ s recent results that are encouraging , but the manner in which they have achieved those results .
While Jose Mourinho ’ s side were desperately anaemic towards the end of his tenure at the club , Solskjaer ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a show , smashing 14 goals past Aston Villa , Bournemouth , Brighton & Hove Albion and Sheffield United in their last four Premier League outings .
That made Solskjaer the first manager in Premier League history to lead their team to four consecutive wins by a three-goal margin or more .
This is a sign of how far United have come over the last few months , with the Old Trafford side exhilarating and devastating in equal measure .
But those who questioned Solskjaer should be given some slack .
In an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counts for more than ever before , the Norwegian ’ s lack of a defining style led many to suggest he would never succeed at the elite level as a coach .
Solskjaer isn ’ t alone in having faced such criticisms , though .
Zinedine Zidane has experienced much of what the United manager has .
Like Solskjaer , the Real Madrid boss is not tied to any one style of play and in Spain , where footballing philosophers like Pep Guardiola , Quique Setien and Paco Jemez are idolised for how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ held against him for a long time .
As a pragmatist , though , Zidane has repeatedly been able to get the best out of the squad at the Santiago Bernabeu .
He is a legacy figure who commands respect because of what he has achieved at the club , something that has only been bolstered further since the former midfielder entered management , winning three successive Champions League titles between 2016 and 2018 .
Of course , to predict Solskjaer will enjoy the same level of success at United might be taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point , even if they are heading in the right direction , but there are similarities to the way the Norwegian has turned things around at Old Trafford and how Zidane leads at Real Madrid .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-10--Manchester United star Mason Greenwood's 2020/21 season predicted

Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood has played a massive part in the club 's strong recent form , with United winning their last four consecutive Premier League games and are unbeaten since the league 's restart .
Greenwood has scored four goals and assisted another on his last three Premier League appearances , showcasing his incredible finishing ability and undoubted potential , which has created loads of excitement about the 18-year-old 's future in the game .
The United forward has scored 16 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions for the club in the 2019/20 campaign so far , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so just how good could he be next season ?
To find out , we booted up Football Manager 2020 to try and predict what Greenwood could achieve next season .
To set up this simulation , we used Football Manager 2020 to simulate two full seasons on the game , 2019/20 and 2020/21 , to see how Greenwood would perform in the 2020/21 season for United .
We also stopped the club making any major signings , to give Greenwood the best possible chance to play regularly and develop his game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how Greenwood 's profile looked in the summer before the 2020/21 season in our simulation .
The Football Manager database currently contains data on more than 800,000 individuals and 45,000 active clubs , with data sourced from their international on the ground scouting network which numbers roughly 1,000 people , among their ranks are some who are involved in football in professional capacities , including scouts and coaches .
In addition , each annual iteration of Football Manager has built-in algorithms which check for outliers and data discrepancies .
Data accuracy is further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ active within the professional game ( players , agents etc . )
who provide regular feedback .
This is what happened in our simulation using FM2020 .
Despite still being only 18 at the start of the 2020/21 season , Greenwood featured as a first team regular for Manchester United in this campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer , making 52 appearances in all competitions , of which 48 of those were starts .
In those 52 appearances , Greenwood scored 20 goals and registered 15 assists , which is an incredible return for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those goals came in the Premier League , with the other seven coming in European competition .
To put Greenwood 's goalscoring in perspective , his 20 goals put him as the club 's joint-second top goal scorer in the 2020/21 season , with only Bruno Fernandes scoring more .
And it becomes all the more impressive when you consider that Greenwood mostly played from the right hand side of attack , making 40 appearances on the right wing and only five appearances as a number nine .
The United wonderkid 's performances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Manchester United statistically best eleven in the 2020/21 season , with Greenwood featuring on the right side of attack , with Fernandes in the number ten role , Rashford on the left and Martial up front .
With Greenwood as a first team regular , Manchester United mounted a title challenge in the 2020/21 season , but came up against three other strong sides in Man City , Liverpool and Chelsea .
United eventually finished in fourth place in the Premier League , but just ten points behind eventual champions Man City .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Greenwood will continue his rapid development next season , scoring more goals and assisting more goals for his teammates , becoming a key player for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and one of the club 's deadliest forward players .
The game also predicts that Greenwood may have to make do with featuring from the right , as he does in real-life now , with Anthony Martial still considered the club 's first choice number nine .
Greenwood has a great future ahead of him , with Football Manager 2020 predicting that an impressive 2020/21 @ @ @ @ @ @ @

The United forward has scored 16 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions for the club in the 2019/20 campaign so far, which is hugely impressive considering his age, so just how good could he be next season?
To find out, we booted up Football Manager 2020 to try and predict what Greenwood could achieve next season.
Manchester United star Mason Greenwood's 2020/21 season predicted
To set up this simulation, we used Football Manager 2020 to simulate two full seasons on the game, 2019/20 and 2020/21, to see how Greenwood would perform in the 2020/21 season for United.
We also stopped the club making any major signings, to give Greenwood the best possible chance to play regularly and develop his game in the first team.
This is how Greenwood's profile looked in the summer before the 2020/21 season in our simulation.
The Football Manager database currently contains data on more than 800,000 individuals and 45,000 active clubs, with data sourced from their international on the ground scouting network which numbers roughly 1,000 people, among their ranks are some who are involved in football in professional capacities, including scouts and coaches.
In addition, each annual iteration of Football Manager has built-in algorithms which check for outliers and data discrepancies. Data accuracy is further ensured by input from contributors who are active within the professional game (players, agents etc.) who provide regular feedback.
This is what happened in our simulation using FM2020.
Mason Greenwood's 2020/21 season for Manchester United
Despite still being only 18 at the start of the 2020/21 season, Greenwood featured as a first team regular for Manchester United in this campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, making 52 appearances in all competitions, of which 48 of those were starts.
In those 52 appearances, Greenwood scored 20 goals and registered 15 assists, which is an incredible return for such a young player.
13 of those goals came in the Premier League, with the other seven coming in European competition.
To put Greenwood's goalscoring in perspective, his 20 goals put him as the club's joint-second top goal scorer in the 2020/21 season, with only Bruno Fernandes scoring more.
And it becomes all the more impressive when you consider that Greenwood mostly played from the right hand side of attack, making 40 appearances on the right wing and only five appearances as a number nine.
The United wonderkid's performances saw him get a place in the Manchester United statistically best eleven in the 2020/21 season, with Greenwood featuring on the right side of attack, with Fernandes in the number ten role, Rashford on the left and Martial up front.
With Greenwood as a first team regular, Manchester United mounted a title challenge in the 2020/21 season, but came up against three other strong sides in Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
United eventually finished in fourth place in the Premier League, but just ten points behind eventual champions Man City.
This Football Manager 2020 simulation predicts that Greenwood will continue his rapid development next season, scoring more goals and assisting more goals for his teammates, becoming a key player for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and one of the club's deadliest forward players.
The game also predicts that Greenwood may have to make do with featuring from the right, as he does in real-life now, with Anthony Martial still considered the club's first choice number nine.
Greenwood has a great future ahead of him, with Football Manager 2020 predicting that an impressive 2020/21 campaign is coming for the youngster.
