It goes without saying that United are more scary now for teams coming to OT. It's sort of what happens if you spend 150m on attacking talent. Last year people just had to mark Martial and ride their luck for 90 minutes, now there's 3-4 Reds on the pitch that can instantly turn the game around.
But yeah, that's one thing, but last year the best way to beat United was by not trying to beat them, basically. So I don't know what heavy **** TD was smoking, that he saw teams coming to OT guns blazing. Everybody would just invite the pressure and wait for counter. All those clean sheets and overall excellent home record wasn't really thanks to De Gea, it was because most OT games oppo barely got to smell the ball.
I mean, that's ultimately why Van Gaal lost the match going fans. The results at home were brilliant really, probably as good as anything Ferguson managed to produce. But it was so depressingly boring to watch, Manchester suicide hot-lines were probably booming after every game. Every game it was the same ****, opposition would sit back, United would pass it sideways, and you've sometimes had 30 minute passages of play where basically nothing was happening.
