Savouring last months of our moody genius

ONE of the weekend’s headlines was “Lucky Devils.” But the results that United are getting don’t have too much to do with luck.

The similarities between them this year and us over the past two years are striking. They are winning games where they don’t play particularly well; their goals are coming from unlikely sources; they battle for every second of every game and no game is ever lost to them.

That isn’t luck; that is the mark of champions.
