shared that persistence has been key to the teams success

The Jose Mourinho era at Manchester United hit its first bump in the road, now the challenge will be to bounce back against a plucky Watford side at Vicarage Road on Sunday.Since the Portuguese manager was sacked by Chelsea back in December, it almost seemed inevitable The Special One would wind up at Old Trafford. Following a summer in which the club spent north of ￡119 million for defender Eric Bailly and midfielder Paul Pogba, an undisclosed fee for Borussia Dortmund star Henrikh Mkhitaryan and landed Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer, expectations in the red half of Manchester are sky high.And Mourinhos retooled side looked the part after three consecutive victories, but last weeks 2-1 setback in the Manchester Derby represented the first setback.Pep Guardiolas Manchester City opened a 2-0 lead on the back of goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho. Ibrahimovic pulled the Red Devils (2-0-1) within one, but the equaliser proved elusive as City threw the first gauntlet down in the early title race.Old Trafford also seemed a logical landing spot for Ibrahimovic given his previous work with Mourinho at Inter Milan. The former Sweden international explained why he believes the two work well together.I know what he wants, I know his demands, Ibrahimovic said. Hes a winner and I see myself as a winner also. I do anything to win. And we won. He won when he was younger and I won when I was younger and we will win when we are a little bit older. Not old, but a little bit older!He is direct with everyone. He is not someone who goes behind your back. I prefer that instead of someone who doesnt say anything to you. He does what he needs to do to win.On the injury front for United, defender Phil Jones picked up a knee ligament injury and could miss a month of action. Mourinho left several of his first-choice players in Manchester as the club faced Feyenoord in Europa League action on Thursday. Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingaard, Mkhitaryan and Wayne Rooney were all left home as the Red Devils suffered a 1-0 loss in that Europa opener.He has played every game since the start of the season, the manager said of his decision to omit Rooney from the squad. He has also played 90 minutes for the England team. He played 90 minutes last weekend and I want him to be fresh for the next Premier League match.While Watford (1-1-2) do not have any European football to worry about, theyll aim for a second consecutive win following an impressive 4-2 comeback victory over West Ham United last weekend.West Ham raced out to a two-goal margin thanks to a pair of goals from Michail Antonio, but the Hornets responded with four answered tallies to stun the home crowd at Olympic Stadium. Manager Walter Mazzarri applauded his clubs resolve, despite falling into an early deficit.We didnt start very well, we were in the sky as you say in Italy. But when we started to concentrate the result came, said Mazzarri. West Ham had the whole stadium with them. They came to us in a positive way but we started playing our football and the result came our way.I was a bit worried (down 2-0) but even at that score we had chances. We spoke with the players and adjusted a few things, which allowed us to have more possession and attack more.Man U did the double over Watford last season, including a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road in November. The Hornets are also aiming to break some poor history against United as they have never taken a point from the Red Devils in league.Watford have lost all six previous Premier League fixtures against United and have been outscored 16-5.

Cheap Fake Shoes Online .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. Much like the previously profiled team, Cloud9, Team EnVyUs (nV) arrive at the Halo Championship Series Summer Finals with an underwhelming performance in their rearview mirror. nV failed to make it out of group stages at the North American Regional tournament and therefore did not qualify for the Halo World Championship. Halo veterans Justin Pistola Deese and Tom OGRE 2 Ryan were left to watch from home while Counter Logic Gaming hoisted the trophy and took home an impressive $1 million.At NA Regionals, nV consisted of of Austin Mikwen McCleary, Pistola, OGRE 2, and Jacob Arkanum Santos. During the offseason, nV made roster changes that led to the departure of Arkanum and OGRE 2 and the acquisition of Visal eL TowN Mohanan, Timothy Rayne Tinkler, and coach Marcus Elumnite Lovejoy. The new squad saw its first action of the season at the PAX East Invitational and placed second after losing to Evil Geniuses in the finals. The team has continued to play well since then, earning a second place finish in their group at the HCS Pro League Summer Qualifier to secure a ticket to the first season of the Pro League.With the exception of the first week when it went 1-1, Team EnVyUs has not found itself outside of the top three all season. However, its journey has not been entirely smooth sailing. Of all the teams competing at the Summer Finals, nV has the most Game 5 appearances (seven) and carries a 4-3 record in such contests, which hints that they struggle to close out series. All three of those losses in Game 5 scenarios happened against the three other teams that will be fighting for a first place finish at the tournament, which may foreshadow challenges to come.The individual players on nV deserve as much mention as the teams record overall. Kicking off his journey into Halo esports in 2009, Mikwen has made a name for himself as an electric playmaker. He has teamed with Pistola for the entirety of Halo 55, and will now make an attempt to win his second event.dddddddddddd His leadership this season has been evident, and for nV to have a shot at winning the tournament, he will have to put his performance at NA Regionals far behind him.Coming off of a second place finish at the HWC with Team Allegiance, eL TowN joins the ranks of Team EnVyUs looking to improve upon his previous placing. He was acquired at the end of the season and has been an excellent addition to the powerful duo of Mikwen and Pistola. eL TowN has shared that persistence has been key to the teams success, and that persistence will be essential this weekend.Known by the community as The Wizard for his play-making abilities and general knack for staying alive in situations where most others could not, Pistola is looking to bounce back from his showing at the North American Regionals. He has 15 first place finishes in his Halo career, but a 16th will not come easily. Pistolas slaying prowess will be pivotal in the success of this squad.Rayne has had most of his success while playing H5. He was a part of the eLevate roster that impressively placed fourth at the HWC alongside Alex Swift Kill Ramirez, Tyler Calm Mentality Mozingo, and Zane Penguin Hearon. Rayne has a propensity to focus on the objective side of things, and has the fewest deaths on his team all season.Team EnVyUs take on Enigma6 in their first match of the Summer Finals. Much to its dismay, nV went 0-2 overall against E6 throughout the season with a 3-6 head-to-head map record. Team EnVyUs has played CLG to close series in the past, but if it wants another shot at CLG in the winners finals, it will have to find a way around E6 first. E6 finished the season with an overall record of 9-5 with a 35-25 map record and will not prove an easy opponent. ' ' '
