Manchester United
The Red Devils FIFA tournament was a star-studded affair with eight members of the Manchester United squad facing off against each other in a FIFA 17 winner takes all match. Daley Blind, Wayne Rooney, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial in one team faced off against the combined might of Paul Pogba, David De Gea, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Ashley Young.
A competitive first half ended goalless after multiple missed opportunities by both teams. Paul Pogba’s team took the lead with the gamer Pogba scoring a typical unstoppable thunderbolt from distance with his virtual version in the game, much to the disappointment of Rooney and Co.
After a typical defensively strong performance of teams coached by Jose Mourinho, the game ended at 1-0. Paul Pogba and his team were given trophies by EA but Martial and the others left to watch, thinking what could have been.
