I come under the over 20,000 category but I'm hung like a horse.

Sometimes stats don't tell the correct story.

Weaker in both PL and UCL because rivals are stronger. And if we try to play similarly from last season, we might find that playing with fans in the stadium changes the dynamic of the game and could be an issue. Chelsea, PSG and Liverpool away in a row in September will be a good test

Are they stronger? Yes they have added to their ranks, but it's far too early in the season to say they are stronger, as not all signings work out as well we know.
Having watched the dippers, rags and chelsea so far this season, I'm not seeing any obvious improvements to them

We was never interested in Ronaldo, he got offered to us if you remember.

I hate the ronaldo saga. I don't want to remember it.
My simple point is, why did we jumped on ronaldo train if our plan was kane or nothing this season. Had we not, it would have saved us a massive embarrassment.
City issued statement that they were pulling out of ronaldo saga, that means we were in to sign him.

Chelsea added one player in a position they needed most, which was different than what we did, and who knows, might add another still. United clearly improved. Liverpool will be stronger naturally compared to last year. PSG. Bayern has a stronger squad too and it will take Nagelsmann a massive fuck up for it not to work. These are basically all of our realistic UCL rivals and even Madrid, which is still light years from what they wanna be, seem to be in a right direction.

From what I’ve seen so far united clearly haven’t improved. I would also not be surprised if Torres scores more than Lukaku this season if he plays all season centrally. Neither Bayern nor Madrid worry me.
Chelsea will be close, PSG a bit unknown but could challenge us. Nobody else really concerns me.

The reason he is undervalued is for this very reason, no smacked arse, kicking off because he hasn’t got his way, no media slants or curve balls... he’s basically an intelligent lad and professional to the core, and for me, one of the first names on the team sheet!

I agree, he is a complete professional, keeps his head down and gets on with it. He was, and continues to be a fantastic player for us.

Rags still have players to debut and find cohesion, but there’s a whole season to get there. Liverpool and Chelsea for me are clearly stronger based on these initial games

Maybe fans in stadium and travel restrictions being lifted will help him
