Why would it not of stood?

But yea United win first day not good

[Mhsc 1,110]

Aint no way the commentator just said they deserved the lead

Man Utd are a shocking team, can't wait to play them.

[NikkiCFC 8,469]

Typical United. Winning games they shouldn't. I feel every season they get 10-15 points like this.

Yep. Fulham have been pretty average here but still slightly better than United.

But as is typical for the Manc’s they score a bail out goal out of nothing.

I rated him

but we did not

time will tell who was right

but he likely just got them all 3 points in his very first game

I think as bad as United have been all round, they definitely look sharper in the final third. Not just tonight, also v City. As soon as they get near the box you get the feeling they are going to do something.

True. I’m not really impressed with any of their attackers bar Bruno (who I despise as a player but can admit is good) but they’re very direct and fast which causes lots of problems. 

[Vesper 30,578]

well shit

Manure scrapes another win

United for me look like a team that will win a LOT of games against weak teams in jammy ways like we just saw. But from a stylistic and team selection POV I really don’t think Ten Hag is going to get them beating the other top teams. Their football just looks really…..basic I think is how I’d describe it?

Doesn’t help when he keeps picking Mount, Rashford, Maguire etc.
