They don’t ask for much at Old Trafford.
Manchester United fans might’ve been spoiled throughout the last two and a half decades but they’re not deluded, they know there’s work to do to get back to those lofty heights.
They’re not asking for trophies though, they’re not even demanding wins in the stands. But they didn’t think it would be too much to ask if they could have a shot every now and again.
Just a ball travelling with any kind of purpose in the general direction of the goals.
So when Memphis Depay hit a timid enough effort against League 1 Sheffield United in their FA Cup third round, you can understand why United fans got excited.

Darmian’s toe poke towards goal got the ball rolling because the good times rolled straight after when Memphis Depay dared to dream with this thing they call shooting.
Rogue.
The United fans appreciated it at least.
And it was the encouragement they needed because Wayne Rooney’s injury time penalty put them through 1-0. If you shoot, you could score.
