And Shelvey still a prat!

so I understand

Pogba close to a second yellow there.

Don't think Rashford is a natural goal scorer.

Tammy Abraham looks like he will have a big future. Not sure why Chealski have put him out on loan?

United suddenly scoring goals for fun

Earth calling conte....please explain why you sold the best defensive midfielder in the prem to a title rival for hardly anything

Another 4 goals today.

JM starting to turn Utd into the force they were under Fergie.

Perhaps, after recent seasons, he didn't consider Man U as title challengers.

I'm not convinced either, but after two 4-0 wins I might have to change my tune.

I thought the story was that Conte did not want to sell Matic.

Impressive start for United. Put down a marker.

They won their first three Premier League games last season!

Whoever sanctioned needs shooting. He was immense today

West ham at home and Swansea away is not the toughest test in the league for a team like United. But 8 goals is certainly a statement.

It might be tough for Chealski to finish top let alone retain their crown. Extra games from Europe this year, and arguably the squad is weaker. I guess that might come down to if Liverpool and keep coutinho.

New challange, something to prove, likes Jose. So far he seems a very good buy. Both he and Lukaku are working out well so far.

Chelsea got blessed with injury last season, now they have two key attacking players, a key cb and one less dm in that system in the middle with bakayoko yet to feature and matic gone. Squad is paper thin. They may struggle if more people get injured

As for matic, he's been consistently in the top 5 dms in the game for about 4 years. Like everyone before mourinho got the sack, he had a half season cold spell. Don't think it's a fresh start, he's always been that good. Kante won the plaudits last year overshadowing how good he played. It's crazy they sold him with no one lined up and as a key starter in Contes system.

Liverpool's back 4 looks like a championship sides.

Joe Gomez, Andy robertson, Matip and klavalan.....christ only knows why they are getting rid of sakho z he should walk into this side as their best defender
