Was the pre-season a false dawn ??????
Winning all the five pre-season games meant that Manchester United have finally found a way to overcome there last season debacle. However, after seeing the way United played their first league match makes everyone wonder was the pre-season a false dawn????
It all looked rosy for United when the disastrous spell under David Moyes came to an end and it became even better when Louis Van Gaal was appointed as the manager of arguably the most watched footballing club in the world.
After seeing the way LVG dispatch their opponents in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, where he lead his home nation Dutch to a respectable third place, the expectations of United fans reached sky high. But, reality struck again in the form of Swansea city in the opening day after Manu lost 2-1 to them at Old Trafford in the premier league.
Their disastrous run at Old Trafford continues, after losing seven matches at home (where they lost only five times in the previous three seasons) last season, they started the new season in a similar disappointing way.
This situation underlines the fact that this may not be a quick fix for United. Despite appointing one of the best managers in the world right now, fans have to be patient if they want to see United return to the helm, which they enjoyed for such a long time under their legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
There might be a bigger problem then what appears in the eye for United. The squad looked mediocre last season and many wondered was it Moyes failure to get the best of it, but seeing the team play in the opening match, it makes us wonder have the best days of these players are behind them???
This even more underlines the fact that how good Sir Alex's man management skills was, as he was able to transfer such an average team into an all conquering group.
No matter how many record breaking transfers Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward pulls off this summer, the problems at United does not look like a quick fix. Patience is the key for United supporters if they want to see their club at the top of the league again.
