His hands were like steel, and he saved Andre Gray's powerful shot.

"The ball is in!" Another commentator, Jamie Carragher, shouted excitedly.

3:1, Watford scored a goal! Watford fans cheered and waved their flags to cheer for the team's wonderful performance.

The Watford players also excitedly high-fived each other, their faces filled with joy and pride; and Andre Gray, the hero of the goal, quickly ran to the Manchester United goal, picked up the ball, put it in the midfield kick-off position, and shouted to his teammates to return to their positions and prepare to kick off. He wanted to buy more time and opportunities for the team.

However, his behavior obviously angered all the Manchester United fans in the stadium. Suddenly, the entire Old Trafford stadium was shrouded in the boos of Manchester United fans, and the atmosphere became tense and depressing. The Manchester United fans at the scene shouted loudly, expressing their dissatisfaction and anger. Their eyes were full of hostility, as if they wanted to devour Andre Gray and the Watford team.

Andre Gray did not flinch in the face of the boos, and his eyes remained firm; the other players of the Watford team also returned to their positions and prepared to kick off. They told the Manchester United fans with their actions that they would not be intimidated by the boos, and they would continue to fight for victory.

The time of injury time passed by minute by minute, and the Watford players were like hungry wolves, madly attacking Manchester United's defense. They kept passing and running, trying to find a chance to change the outcome of the game. Abdoulaye Doucoure actively organized the attack in the midfield, his eyes were firm, and every pass was just right. Andre Gray kept running and pulling in the frontcourt, causing trouble for Manchester United's defenders.

And the Manchester United players did not show any weakness, they tightly guarded their defense, like a solid wall. Ruben Dias and other defenders were concentrating on Watford's offensive players, not daring to relax at all. Lee Grant was on guard in front of the goal, ready to make a wonderful save at any time.

Manchester United's players dragged their tiredThe bodies walked into the locker room. At this moment, the locker room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. Bruno Fernandez stood in the middle of the crowd, his face full of guilt and solemnity. He took a deep breath and slowly said: "Brothers, I want to apologize to the whole team. In the first half, because of my irrationality, we fell into a passive situation. I know that I have failed the trust of the coach and everyone." His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes showed deep self-blame.

"On the court, I should have been calmer and more focused. But I made a wrong judgment because of a momentary impulse. I know that we are facing a huge challenge now, but I believe that as long as we unite, we will be able to turn the situation around. Please everyone!" Bruno clenched his fists, his tone firm and powerful.

His teammates looked at him quietly, and someone patted his shoulder to encourage him. The captain Ruben Dias on the field came over and said: "Bruno, we are a team, and mistakes are inevitable. You have to believe in us, we can definitely win this game." Everyone nodded in agreement. Bruno Fernandes looked at his teammates gratefully.

After Bruno Fernandes was done, head coach Mourinho stood in front of the tactical board and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"We need to adjust the team lineup." Mourinho's voice was steady and powerful. He paused and continued, "Xiao, you need to be replaced in the second half." Mourinho said to Lu Kershaw apologetically. Lu Kershaw looked a little ugly when he heard Mourinho's words, but he still nodded and showed an ugly smile. The captain Ruben Dias on the field beside him patted his shoulder, but did not speak.

Mourinho continued, "Williams, your position is back. When defending, you are the left back. When attacking, you are the left winger. I will give you the entire left side of the team."

"Understood, boss!" Nico Williams said loudly.

"Lingard, you will be substituted in the second half. Together with Chuameni and Musiala, you will form a new midfield combination. You have only one task, which is to firmly control the midfield. After grabbing the ball, pass it directly to the penalty area." Hearing the coach's arrangement, Aurelien Chuameni, Jamal Musiala, and Jesse Lingard nodded and said "yes".

Mourinho continued: "Rashford, you should retreat to the midfield more often. When defending, you should actively participate in the midfield's pressing and stop the opponent's offensive organization. When attacking, use your speed to quickly move forward and create opportunities for the team." Marcus Rashford listened carefully to the coach's instructions, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Lukaku, you need to rush into the Watford penalty area more often, make full use of your physical advantage, and create chaos in the opponent's penalty area. Our tactics in the second half will be as simple as possible. After stealing the ball in the midfield and backcourt, we will pass the ball to you as soon as possible. Your task is to grab a shot in the penalty area and capture the city for the team." Romelu Lukaku nodded heavily, knowing that he had an important responsibility.

"Okay, I won't say more. You must remember that you are strong and warriors. Take out your fighting spirit and fight for glory. I believe that victory will belong to us Manchester United."

At this time, Ruben Dias, who was wearing the captain's armband, had a fiery light in his eyes. He raised his head suddenly, used all his strength, and shouted excitedly: "Manchester United, Manchester United!" The sound was like a thunder, exploding in the locker room. The other players were immediately infected by this passion and joined in. They shouted in unison: "Manchester United, Manchester United!" This shout was like a surging wave, one wave higher than the other.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United made the first personnel adjustment, with Jesse Lingard replacing Luke Shaw.

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began. Manchester United's lineup adjustment soon took effect. In the 46th minute, Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure was trying to break through Manchester United's defense with the ball. Aurelien Chuameni approached Doucoure quickly like a cheetah, with a firm look in his eyes and steady steps. Jesse Lingard also came from the other side, and the two formed a pinching trend.

Abdoulaye Doucoure felt the pressure, but he still tried to find a chance to break through. However, Aurelien Chuameni and Jesse Lingard's defense was impenetrable. They stuck to Abdoulaye Doucoure tightly and did not give the other side any breathing space.

Finally, after a fierce fight, Aurelien Chuameni and Jesse Lingard finally succeeded in stealing the ball. At the moment of the interception, the whole audienceThere was a loud cheer. Aurellian Chuameni quickly controlled the ball, his brain working rapidly, looking for the best passing route.

At this time, Marcus Rashford, who had retreated to the midfield to receive the ball, was running towards them. Aurellian Chuameni passed the ball without hesitation. After receiving the ball, Marcus Rashford rushed along the right side like a flash of lightning. He was very fast and had very skilled skills. Watford defenders Robert Pereira and Jose Holebas tried to stop him, but Marcus Rashford's breakthrough was too sharp and they could not stop him at all.

Marcus Rashford quickly broke through the Watford defense and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area. At this time, Watford's central defenders Craig Cathcart and Christian Kabasele surrounded him and tried to stop his shot. However, Marcus Rashford showed his superb football IQ. He made a pass that looked like a dunk, and cleverly passed the ball to Romelu Lukaku in the penalty area.

Romelu Lukaku had already prepared. He jumped high and slammed the ball into the goal with his head. The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball, at a very fast speed. Watford goalkeeper Benjamin Foster made a desperate save. The fans in the stadium watched this scene nervously, and their hearts were in their throats.
