A flawless stay
But attention is already turning to this opening game of the Premier League against Chelsea at Old Trafford on August 11, both teams hoping for a solid start to a new chapter.
United's manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, was optimistic since the players showed up for duty earlier this month. And while there are still problems, the last two weeks have been refreshing while the Norwegian embodies his philosophy in the team during his first pre-season.
For the moment, without speculatively looking at the future signatures that could happen – Harry Maguire and others – here's how Manchester United should show up against Chelsea next month.
David de Gea (GK) – With a new contract potentially worth more than £ 350,000 a week, which is now thought to be more or less agreed, the Spaniard seems ready to stay at Old Trafford.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB) – In only two pre-season games, the 21-year-old already shows why United has spent £ 45m to £ 50m. This is a full back who is a defender of the first, a rarity.
Victor Lindelof (BC) – Despite the public flirtation of his agent with Barcelona, the Swede remains happy at United and enjoyed a good individual season in 2018/19 after a difficult first year.
Chris Smalling (BC) – Until United signs someone else, the former Fulham man, who is entering his 10th season at Old Trafford, remains Lindelof 's most reliable back partner.
Luke Shaw (LB) – A pre-season injury is a disappointment for a player who has been working hard on his fitness in the past 12 months. Currently, the only specialist left of United
Scott McTominay (CM) – Solskjaer seems to be a very big fan of the young Scottish and has recently suggested that he and Andreas Pereira would combine this season to replace Ander Herrera.
Paul Pogba (CM) – Always easily the best player of United and shows it in pre-season. If he stays and he is ready to make efforts, the Frenchman could bring the club into a new era.
Greenwood Mason (RW) – Solskjaer has already asked the 17-year-old to play a potential role in the first match against Chelsea. It would operate more like a "right forward" than a typical winger.
Juan Mata (AM) – A central role "number 10" is the only one to make the most of the old United record purchase. He does not have the pace to play wide, but his intelligence and vision are priceless.
Daniel James (LW) – Swansea's frantic pace of signing at £ 18m was one of the highlights of the pre-season. Few will be able to live with his speed in counterattack.
Marcus Rashford (ST) – 2019/20 could easily be the best season so far for the local star. With the faith of the manager, it will be his first conduct since the first day and he should prosper.
