On the face of it, the results of the pre-season have not been that bad: W3 D2 L1. Some of the performances have been impressive. There seems to be an actual system emerging and evidence of an ETH footballing philosophy also seems to be taking hold. Not only that but we have had the opportunity to see impressive performances from some of the young players such as Zidane and seemingly rejuvenated senior players such as Martial.
But in reality what have we learnt? I am not so sure. I for one watched the Community Shield with our two biggest rivals and saw the team that we whacked 4-0 reshuffled , refocused and look much more like the side that beat us 9-0 on aggregate last season. By contrast, their pre-season has been indifferent.
Yes, I think there are some definite positives from United's pre-season, but I am not entirely sure what they amount to and what should be read into these. What do others think? Cause for genuine optimism or too early to tell?
