Kick off time back in so we can all remember to avoid the vegan markets.
First game of the season I'll actually sit down and watch the 90 minutes in full.
I guess the only injury news for Utd will be the fitness of McTominay who was unable to start the last game but he did come on as a sub so you assume he's ok.
I'd expect for this one we will see Varane start and hopefully Sancho and probably see Cavani return to the bench.
In terms of the opponent I haven't see them under the new manager but have heard they've been creating a lot of chances under him so it might be a slightly different challenge to the one we previously had against them which was breaking them down. Jimenez is back fit and he's a striker we've often struggled to handle and there will be the usual challenge of controlling Adama Traore.
Predicted XI
DDG
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
McTominay Fred
Sancho Bruno Pogba
Greenwood.
For Utd it feels like a win is really needed here to go into the international break 7 points for 9 is probably the mimimum we should have expected from the opening 3 games if we go in with only 4 or 5 it will feel like another deflating start to the season.
