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.
Disappointment can come at any time because in some of these occasions, they were not also being prepared for a disappointment, as such is never part of the plan, but you can imagine after adequate preparation, then you faced a serious opposition as obstacle which you cant afford to beat and scale through, it has happened in so many ways, not only them have been affected on related challenges, this is football and a survival of the fittest, if they were unable to meet up last season, then this one could be an opportunity to do well
You made a good point on that and since we know Manchester United they haven't been in such mess that they are in and to me it doesn't show any sign of them improving, couple with the high expectations, the manager came with the vision of pushing the club to that glorious days same as those who came before him. Amorim version of upgrading the club is still falling the same way that of ETH did so what else does he have to do?
When coming to Manchester United what they all said is what many of us are using against them and also the fans are expecting much because they know how badly they want the club to be like every other club in the EPL that are doing well, to the extend that smaller clubs are dominating than the Red Devils, too much work need to be done for the manager since this is his first time going into a fresh season.
