Big improvement though? You must agree.

Anything would be an improvement to be honest.

Lol. Someone here said Jones was ****. I told you he's our current best option after Bailly

As long as we are moving forward, I'm happy.

Hard to judge him off todays game though, he'll have much tougher tests against better opposition, going forward.

I don't think he's **** tbh, just inconsistent and kind of a liability at times. Plus his fitness is very frustrating.

Martiaaaaaal total football!

Martial.. the magic man

We need a big season from him!

Rashford hits that right at the keeper XD Great finish, great performance, great start!

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Pogbooooom! Top of the league

 

[zzeezzy]

Martial goal and assist inside what.. 10 mins? Enough said.. he's thrown down a gauntlet this season!

Loving the positivity. Last season we try see out the 1-0, maybe nick the second on the break. We looked for goals, and most importantly, we got the goals.

Matic gives us so much balance.

BRING ON SWANSEA.

yes its one game and hammers have been poor but imo we look much sharper,quicker and more of a threat with rom up front.very promising

Even though Rashford did well I think Martial should be starter on the left. Especially on games like this against not the top class opposition.

I really like them both, but I think Martial is much more clinical. However Rashford has probably got better work-rate, Martial no slouch though.

Anyway, speak of the devil, didn't you suggest it would be a dull game today?

 

[RedUnited]

All the nervousness before the game has turned to happiness and confidence, what a complete performance by the whole team. :wub:

Can't wait for next game!:wub::wub::wub::wub:

 

[Theatre of dreams]

But why is Jones starting, why is Blind starting, why is Periera not on the bench. Sorry Zzeezzy

Yes, I did and actually happy to be wrong. I'd been happier seeing United lose, but you can't get all. :S

They are all valid questions! Blind did improve a lot from super cup today. Although wasn't tested lets be honest, much.

I'd still like to know why Pereira wasn't on the bench and Lindelof seems to of disappeared. Got a feeling he's going to have a season like Mkhitaryan last season, a lot of work the training ground to adapt and we'll see him slowly phased in.

Speak for yourself said West Ham were decent at best.

Yeah, for as good as Utd were the opener (best performance opening weekend by far), my God West 'Am are abysmal, aren't they? Absolutely nottin'. This is opening day for Pete's sake! Bilic is under serious pressure there. Money spent and they still look as bad.

Pogba superbly dominant. Matic very good. Rashford a very good outlet. That could easily have been a 7- 3.

Brilliantly open, entertaining first weekend. Why it's the most watched league in the World. Here's to it continuing in that vein all year.

Pereira is never getting on over Pogba mate. He'll get his mins, but he knows his place in the line. When we're playing weak opposition, 4-2-3-1 with Matic/Herrera & Pogba is fine. When we play 4-3-3, it's likely to be against tough opposition/tricky away games, in which Matic-Herrera-Pogba is our strongest midfield. Pereira is an offensive CM, like Pogba, but Pogba levels ahead. I do like him, and he will get mins, but don't be surprised to see him left out of quite a few PL match day squads.
