Whisper it quietly, but the preseason results and performances actually bode very well for the start of the campaign.
Shame about Bailly, he just can't catch a break, looks like another lengthy lay off which means we're in even direr need of a centre back <_<
don't know why United persist with Maguire (i do think he is good, but it's hardball negotiations) when there were options like this available:
Hermoso (25mm to Atletico)
Andersen (25mm to Lyon)
Kabak (14mm to Schalke)
Diallo (31mm to PSG)
also there is still the option to pay Ruben Dias release clause (~50mm), or go after Ake if it's Premier-league proven they're after.
Bailly is a sick note, so are Jones and Rojo always getting hurt. So that leaves Lindeolf (solid) and Smalling (decent enough) as the consistent CBs, along with Tuanzebe who is promising but it's clear United need at least 2 more CBs.
