FCSB player sends strong message to Manchester United Player after humiliating home loss to United in the Europa League.
FCSB’s Europa League encounter with Manchester United was expected to be a competitive affair, but it quickly turned into a nightmare for the Romanian side. United’s superiority was undeniable as they controlled the match from start to finish, securing a dominant victory that left FCSB’s players disheartened and searching for answers. One of their stars, still struggling to process the defeat, was particularly stunned by a specific United player, describing him as “a machine” due to his relentless energy and sheer physical dominance.
Speaking after the match, the FCSB player admitted that his team was powerless against United, especially with this unstoppable force on the pitch. Frustrated but full of admiration, he confessed that no amount of effort could neutralize the player’s impact. “Even with the referee’s decisions going against us, we had no way of stopping him. If he had been on our side, there’s no chance we would have lost. And if he played for United in every game, I doubt many teams could handle them,” he said, clearly drained after trying to contain the powerhouse.
What stood out most in his remarks was his astonishment at the player’s intensity. “I’ve never faced anyone this aggressive before. It’s like he never gets tired, like he’s immune to pressure. Getting past him was impossible. I can’t imagine how players in the Premier League deal with him week in and week out.”
Although he didn’t mention a name, speculation has been running wild among fans and pundits. Some believe he was talking about Casemiro, the midfield general known for his relentless pressing and ability to break up play. Others suspect Lisandro Martínez, whose fierce defensive approach has made him a nightmare for attackers. Some even think it might be Kobbie Mainoo, the young talent who has been making waves with his energy and confidence on the ball.
Regardless of who it was, the match made one thing clear—Manchester United’s physical presence was overwhelming. While FCSB may have had grievances about the officiating, they couldn’t ignore the sheer force United brought to the pitch. Their opponents in the Europa League will have taken note, and if this “machine” keeps performing at such a high level, many more teams could find themselves in the same position—struggling to cope with United’s intensity.
