I was behind the goal at Fulham to see Alejandro Garnacho score his first PL goal for United in 2022. He was such an exciting talent and had such a bright future. To see him go so soon to a rival in Chelsea for a pitiful £40 million just feels very, very wrong. A real shame.

Manchester United know Andre Onana is a liability and not good enough but are still inexpicably staring the season with him. Once again, this is on them.

#MUFC fans have been through a lot but the thought of selling Kobbie Mainoo for a manager with 7 wins in 29 Premier League games feels like the final straw. Feelings of utter revulsion.

This is a penalty. However, I can understand why the referee didn’t give it instantly. But VAR should have recommended he change his decision. The problem is all too often VAR is more keen to back their referee colleague rather than apply the correct decison.

United should not be going into this season with the same number 1 and 2 keepers who have proven themselves not good enough. For all the encouraging moments today, a glaringly obvious weakness has not been addressed this summer and already cost them in the first game.
