With Preston game was cancelled, United only left final friendly with Everton and until now, only AWB & Greenwood play thru 3 matches and we are not even playing with full squad in any of the friendly matches plus the quality of the friendly, I really scare we might facing the same thing like last season opening 3 matches.
Varane working visa still in progress (After Brexit, anyone coming into UK needs to apply working visa) and he will needs to quarantine for 10 days, by the time everything settle, season already started. Will Ole straight play him into first eleven without him training or playing one single friendly?
This is possibly our unfit first eleven for first 3 matches (Leeds, Southampton & Wolves)
*unfit with lacking match practice

Comparing to Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal, they were playing almost full squad for their last friendly matches and their friendly matches quality are far superior than us, make them more prepared than us
Only City are more or less same with us as they were playing with reserves and youngsters and their friendly matches also those teams one or two divisions below them.
last season both Manchester teams also started weakly, but ended up at the top 2 spot.. so yea... here we go again?
