How terrible were Manchester United on Saturday? Try not to all shout out at once, that is not quite a rhetorical question but not meant as a negative one either. I was at the game against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, with a brief to evaluate the new-look United and detail where all Louis van Gaal’s signings would fit in, and I filed a report along the lines that they made was a solid but unspectacular start.
I ventured to suggest United would be happy with the win and could work on the entertainment factor later in the season. As it was an early kick-off I did not know at the time of filing that Chelsea and Everton would be held at home later in the afternoon, or that Arsenal would make one of their comical false starts a day later, but I reckoned three points against a decent Spurs side was not the worst way to begin a season. I concluded United would have to do better but were not too terrible considering the number of changes made to the team.
