I'm sorry, the fact is that United has only had one preseason and Pogba, Martial, Bruno, Lindelof did not take part in that. So to somehow dismiss that the preseason was barely 3 weeks long, with a 2 week break in between is crazy.
A typical preseason, is about 12 weeks with 6 weeks off and 5 or 6 games to prepare. It is a joke that United (or any team that played in European competitions) have already begun their season.
I am not going to knock the on field performances for at least the next few weeks. Its going to be a tough watch.
Unrelated, United's transfer strategy to delay to try and get the price down clearly does not work and the faster that they realise this, the better the on field team can be.
Unfortunately, Bailly needs to stay fit because its in games like those vs Palace that he will be better than Lindelof. But he is always injured. Bring in Sancho and only if Jones / Smalling / Dalot / Lingard / Pereira leaves do we need more. Otherwise if those players only play in rotation, we will be ok.
But its going to be a very slow start
