Man Utd Vs Chelsea: 5 Players who could change the game on their own | Premier League 2019/20
#2 Olivier Giroud (Chelsea):
Olivier Giroud is an excellent backup option for Frank Lampard. His playing style might not suit his new manager’s philosophy, but he has shaped numerous games coming off the bench for Chelsea and Arsenal over the last few years.
The former Arsenal striker has scored two goals against the Red Devils in his Premier League career till date, including the strike while coming on as a substitute at Old Trafford in 2016. United’s backline including Lindelof and Maguire are decent in the air, but Giroud can better the duo.
The 32-year-old might look unconventional, but he is a manager’s dream – as he continues to change games as a substitute. He formed an ultra-fine partnership with Eden Hazard during the second part of the 2017/18 season. That trend could follow with his new teammate Christian Pulisic. Giroud can drag defenders and assist the wingers to show their breakneck pace through counter-attacks.
