Rashford looked even more threatening, after 14 minutes, with an eye-catching acceleration and powerful shot from the edge of the area that passed just wide of the Spanish goal. Eric Bailly escaped with an early moment of indecision but grew into the half and Goncalo Guedes and Jose Gaya, in particular, looked threatening. Moments later, Guedes shot directly into David De Gea’s midriff to ensure United did not concede what would surely have been a catastrophic opening goal. Gueye curled a shot wide from just inside the United area after Mourinho’s midfield went missing in action and Gaya’s pass picked him out. Finally, Old Trafford’s patience was running out, chants of “Attack, attack, attack,” echoing those comments of Paul Pogba’s two weeks ago that caused the Frenchman such problems.
