If we fail to get an early
goal, this could well turn into a
scrappy affair, but Theo Walcott loves to open up defences in midweek, and I can see him breaking through in the opening 45 minutes, and the game should be
much more open from then on.
After a
scrappy start, United scored the
goal that put the tie beyond any doubt after 16 minutes as the home side gave Juan Mata far too
much time and space down the left and he crossed for Mkhitaryan to steer a neat finish inside the far post.
