Let's be honest, our draw for the start of the season had been more than generous. Swansea, followed by Sunderland last night with Burnley next. All three considered lesser team, for which dropping points would be criminal.
However, we managed to do hard work of the first couple of matches and it looked like a win against Burnley this weekend would do little to lift the mood.
Van Gaal had a record of starting slowly with his club sides. The same happened when he first took on the Barca and Bayern job. Notoriously slow start. Unfortunately, we started too well during our preseason US tour, lifting our hopes to almost unreasonable level. Time to go back to basics and support the team I guess.
Hopefully, by this time next week, we would've acquired a new number 7 in the form of Di Maria. That should at least give us the extra boost needed at the beginning of the season, and we shall push on from there.
Glory, glory Man United!
