The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 1 – Man United vs Swansea

And weโ€™re underway. All our deadlines have passed and the season is here. It all starts at Old Trafford.

Normally the home of trophies and glory, this season United will host teams bereft of silverware but still buoyant, thanks to the Louis van Gaal revolution.

There’s room for optimism. A goal-strewn pre-season accompanied by all the right noises from the manager carries United into an opening day clash with Swansea who are asked to take up the role of sitting ducks. However, the visitors will have other ideas. With the bulk and pace of Wilfried Bony and Bafรฉtimbi Gomis at their disposal, Garry Monkโ€™s side have the weapons to disrupt a make-shift United back-line. Itโ€™s going to be interesting.

There should be goals. There should be points. Our expectations are raised by the fact that the world and his wife have the armband on Mr Rooney. The familiar tide of joy and frustration is just minutes away.

Fantasy Football and The Dugout Discussion has returned and it feels good. Enjoy the game.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I've been slated for saying United won't be as good as everyone expects yes they have RVP coming back but it's the same team as last year.
