Red Devils’ Epic Derby Draw…
In a sky-high Manchester derby showdown that had more traffic jams than the Big Bang, Alejandro Garnacho slid into Mason Mount’s DMs with a blazing three-word bombshell: “He is back” – and just to make sure the world was listening, he tossed in a fiery emoji for good measure. Mount, who’s been tiptoeing back from injury like a cautious ballerina, liberally sprinkled his Instagram with tantalizing game moments and promised his performance as “plenty to take away”, hinting at a Thursday-sized bang on the horizon.
Meanwhile, social media saw more action than a football in a pinball machine, as United’s other stars joined the post-game fiesta. Joshua Zirkzee, channeling his inner cheerleader, ignited his stories with a shoutout to Old Trafford – “Big one on Thursday. Let’s go!!” Bruno Fernandes, the team’s captain and chief encouragement officer, had his heart duly melted by a young mascot from Belfast. With his smile dazzling like a thousand flashlights, the seven-year-old Bobby Moore made Fernandes’ day as sweet as a victory pie without the calories.
Boss-man Ruben Amorim, still shook from a 1-0 collision course with Nottingham Forest, puffed his chest and gazed into the future like a wizard peering into a crystal ball. For Amorim, these mid-season twirls are all about testing the water before next season’s grand football ocean cruise. Despite the team’s rhythm not yet reaching orchestral heights, the improvement was like seeing a butterfly pop out of a caterpillar suit – not in full flight yet, but tempting the winds with its potential.
