Wonder how sustainable United’s “play shit and still win” football is. They’ve been pretty subpar in every one of these 4 straight wins and were comfortably outplayed today yet still won 3-1. 

I think once the season goes on they’ll struggle against teams that can smother any of their trademark counters since that appears to be their only real source of goal threat still.

Still, United are done being the utter embarrassment that they have been in recent years. They’re a competent team now. Just incredibly boring at the moment.

Wouldn't exactly call them boring.

Tottenham is boring. 

United have now transformed into this hard working team with players that work for each other.

Their shortcomings IMO, are just the lack of a good CM to compliment Casemiro (but even Fred and McTominay can do the donkey work in midfield and entrust Bruno and Eriksen to be creative), and good CB options on the bench. No team would like to resort to bringing Maguire off the bench to protect a lead.
