SECOND Half – RED CLASS

A loose ball came to Fred outside the box but his skillful right-footed shot was safely handled by Rulli as the chance to appear early in the second half was high. However, United were indebted to De Gea just before the hour mark as it looked as though the hosts would take the lead.

Carrick decided to bring in Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford to replace Donny van de Beek and Martial in the 66th minute.

With 12 minutes left, Rulli passed the ball out and Fred rushed out to intercept Etienne Capoue.

Capoue tried to atone but was unable to land a header from Alberto Moreno’s cross toward goal as Villarreal desperately chased to equalize. Ronaldo was almost on the scoresheet after showing smart prediction to catch Juan Foyth’s header against Rulli, only to narrowly miss the post. Substitutes Rashford and Fernandes also put in pretty decent efforts ahead of goal, before freezing, as the Reds finished strong in a satisfying evening in Spain.
