5 Positives for Manchester United from the weekend

#3 Reviving the ability to come back in games

Chelsea FC v Manchester United - Premier League

Manchester United were the comeback Kings of Europe under Sir Alex Ferguson. No one could write them off even in the last minute of the game, such was the ability of the teams under the management of the legendary Scott. It was something that instilled fear in the opposition and brought United astounding success.

Since the retirement of Sir Alex though, this ability had begun to catch dust. So when last weekend, United came back from 2-0 down to win the game against Newcastle, a lot of eyebrows were raised. It was rejected as a one-off performance against a lowly ranked team and this is what made the game against Chelsea extra special.

The Blues were already boasting of a deadly attack and a measly defense, and when United were 1-0 in the first half, it was expected that the floodgates were opened and United would leak in a few more until the end of the 90 minutes. However, the Red Devils proved all the doubters wrong and equalized through Anthony Martial in the second half.

The Frenchman then gave them the lead and the critics were almost made to eat their words, before Barkley brought them some breathing space. To come back from 0-1 down to lead 2-1 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this season is no mean feat.

For the second time in succession, United had come back from a losing position. It looks like they are regaining one of their most powerful attributes and this has to be a massive positive from the game.
