The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 1 – Man United vs Swansea

And we’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 Bafétimbi Gomis at their disposal, Garry Monk’s side have the weapons to disrupt a make-shift United back-line. It’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.

      Yep....early data but I was worried about Rooney (c). Figured if utd scored he had to be involved. Utd don't look like scoring at the mo tho.

    I forgot how clever it is to say things like "DDG/Jones owners - lol." As if one goal conceded means it was the dumbest move ever.

    I say this as a non DDG or jones or Utd defender owner. its just a dick move. grow up.

    honourable job that.
