Sabah Ranks as Fine Champions League Victory

#1042 | Ed and Tom discuss United's return to the Champions League, which was a comfortable 4-0 win over Sabah, with the game effectively dead by half-time. It was about all we could ask from an opener like this. Sesko and Dorgu both impressed in changed roles up front and at left-back, reopening the debate over their role in the team. Mainoo and Tielemans continue to look like United's best midfield pairing, with Tielemans's passing already taking pressure off Bruno and Mainoo demonstrating his all round game.  There's also a word for the youth team's own win and 15-year-old JJ Gabriel's UEFA Youth League debut hat-trick. The pod closes by previewing a much tougher test: Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.  --- Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?
