He gave us a tough time today,despite the referee was against us today…we never would have won with him playing for Manchester United…ive never encountered such an aggressive player in my entire career that plays like he’s a machine or something…” FCSB player sends strong message to Manchester United Player after humiliating home loss to United in the Europa League.
He’s a Machine!” – FCSB Star Left Speechless by Manchester United Powerhouse After Crushing Europa League Defeat
The Europa League showdown between FCSB and Manchester United was expected to be a tightly contested battle, but it quickly turned into a nightmare for the Romanian team. United’s superiority was evident throughout the match as they stormed to a dominant win, leaving FCSB players dejected, embarrassed, and searching for explanations. One FCSB player, still reeling after the game, couldn’t hide his reaction to a particular Manchester United star, describing him as “a machine”—a player whose relentless intensity and physical presence made life unbearable for the opposition.
During a post-match interview filled with frustration and disbelief, the FCSB standout acknowledged that his team had no chance against United, especially with this unstoppable force on the pitch. “He gave us a tough time today. Even with the referee against us, we still couldn’t stop him. If he were on our side, we never would have lost. If he played for Manchester United every game, I don’t think many teams could stop them,” he remarked, his words conveying both admiration and exhaustion after attempting to handle the United juggernaut.
What stood out most was his description of the player’s sheer aggression: “I’ve never faced such an aggressive player in my entire career. He plays like he’s a machine or something… like he never gets tired, like pressure doesn’t even affect him. Getting past him was impossible. I can’t imagine how tough it must be to play against him every week in the Premier League.”
Although he didn’t explicitly name the player, speculation has been rampant among supporters and pundits. Some believe he was referring to Casemiro, the seasoned midfield enforcer known for disrupting play and suffocating opponents. Others suspect it might have been Lisandro Martínez, a defender with an aggressive, never-back-down mentality. Some even suggest Kobbie Mainoo, the young midfield sensation whose energy and dynamism have been turning heads.
No matter which United player was being praised, one thing is certain—Manchester United left a lasting impact, and their sheer physicality overwhelmed the Romanian side. While FCSB players may have felt aggrieved by the referee’s calls, they couldn’t ignore the overpowering force that United brought to the pitch.
As United continue their Europa League campaign in dominant fashion, their future opponents must take notice. If this “machine” keeps operating at full capacity, FCSB won’t be the only team left in awe—every side facing Manchester United will have to prepare for a brutal challenge.
That’s an intriguing reaction from the FCSB player, and it speaks volumes about Manchester United’s physical dominance in that match. The description of the unnamed player as “a machine” makes it likely that they were referring to someone with relentless aggression, stamina, and impact on the game.
Casemiro would be a natural choice given his history of controlling midfield battles with sheer physicality and tactical intelligence. However, Lisandro Martínez is also a strong contender, given his fiery playing style and defensive intensity. Interestingly, if it were Kobbie Mainoo, it would highlight just how much he has grown into a commanding presence despite his young age.
Regardless of who it was, it’s a positive sign for United that they’re imposing themselves so convincingly in Europe. Do you think this kind of dominance can translate into their Premier League performances?
