After Manchester United’s match against Real Sociedad, which ended in a 1-1 draw, football supporters have now completely shifted their opinions regarding one player.
Even though United was able to take the lead in the second half, they were unable to maintain it. Mikel Oyarzabal scored the game-winning goal from the penalty spot after Bruno Fernandes committed a handball inside the penalty area.
Despite applying late pressure on United’s defence, Sociedad was unable to find the target that would win the game.
At the very least, Ruben Amorim’s team managed to secure a draw, which will allow them to return to Old Trafford for the second leg of the last 16 match, which is scheduled to take place the following Thursday.
And there were aspects of United’s game that appeared sharper than they have been in recent weeks, some of which included the creation of chances; however, the fact that they did not capitalise on those opportunities will undoubtedly be a source of disappointment for their manager.
However, Sociedad themselves failed to capitalise on a late opportunity to win the game when substitute Orri Oskarsson poked the ball past Onana but it went wide of the post during the final minutes of play.
Joshua Zirkzee, who scored the first goal in San Sebastian, was singled out by United supporters as one of their most outstanding performers on the evening. This was accomplished while the game was still in progress.
And it would appear that United supporters have changed their minds about the Dutchman, just over two months after they booed him off the pitch after he was substituted in the first half of his team’s home loss to Newcastle by a score of 2-0.
A commenter stated, “Joshua Zirkzee has been showing signs of improvement in recent times, particularly with regard to his overall performance.” First place finish in a crucial moment”
A subsequent statement stated: “Joshua Zirkzee redemption is what we all Manchester United fans have been waiting for.”
Zirkzee was the best attacker by a significant margin today, according to a third person. A goal that is richly deserved, and a fantastic finish!”
It was written by a fourth individual that “That is why you play Joshua Zirkzee on the left… The game is helping Zirkzee improve, and he is receiving some reward for his efforts.
