It is normal for the game to be that way, these two teams gave us a switch of display in the sense that UTD played with so much dominance while Bournemouth played like a struggling Manchester United of last season. It is clear that Bournemouth will struggle and as for Manchester United they have this idea of always being serious in the preseason games but I won't say their opponent don't see this games they have played as nothing serious just that UTD are trying to prove something to the fans which I'm not buying at all, even the manager is not even sure how the next game would look like especially when they go head to head against Arsenal.
I just hope that when these guys Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo start playing with the squad, the performance won't go back to what we all saw last season, it will be too bad because they're good players from what we saw last season and Man UTD will make them look like players that don't know their left from their right. For now I'd say Manchester United are still playing to stay consistent, rebuilding process and they still need an attacker to support Hojlund at least to mount a little bit of pressure on him to continue with whichever form he showed against Bournemouth.
Let's give players the benefit of doubt, they have made a good start in the preseason, they messed up last season and if they want to correct their mess let's support them. So far they have defeated two premier league clubs in the preseason friendly. I believe they will make it right next season with the current squad. There is competition in the squad now, every players has to fight hard to remain in the first 11.
The connection between Mount and Bruno is super and i wish they continue like that next season, i really want us to believe in this squad again. Matheus Cunha and Byran Mbuemo is a turning point in this squad, the game Arsenal against will now make sense to me, before now, i already gave Arsenal smooth win, but now it will be hard for Arsenal to get a win. Manchester united would like to regain their confidence with this match against Arsenal.
That's the same approach they gave us last season's preseason or season before, it was glorious to watch them play with so much confidence that they'll be at their best but when it matters you seen them trying to get into their best form but failed. Not saying they are not good to go is something I'll prefer watching happen than saying it. If the players contributed the way they did against Bournemouth, both in defense and attack I don't see any reason why Manchester United will be conceding too much goals, they did well no doubt but for this same guys to progress they need to be up to speed because as it is the club isn't as dominating as they used to be not just about this win against West Ham and Bournemouth, so time is running out on them if they feel they can use this same performance to start the season then they should be prepared for more defeat.
Mount and Bruno's partnership has always been good but can Mount keep up this time around? No injuries? These are the areas the Red Devils need to work on, is not about making both players be at their best and when one is not available the team struggles, without injury I believe Mount can be at his best. The other players I some how believe they can do well, the thing is let some weak positions be covered first.
