True, still don't see them winning it. When they come against better opposition I think they might struggle.
They will brush aside all weak opponents, struggle against better teams is normal especially under Mourinho. It will be be enough for them to win the title though.

Apologies. Wasn't meant as an insult to Bundesliga. Bundesliga and Serie A are about equivalent right now imo. Both top heavy leagues that at least have an idea tactically even if Bundes tends towards attacking, and Serie towards defending.

BPL is still the same clueless, piss-poor football.
Thats okay mate. No worries. I know many people in generel dont fancy german football, but i like it though. Also think Serie A is underrated.

And yeah english football is clueless most of the time.

They're playing Southampton, at Old Trafford. Pogba has been such a beast. :lol:
but when he looked good vs heavily over-matched teams in Serie A, he was WC, wasn't he?

Thats quite arrogant towards the Bundesliga. German football is strong and generelly better than english atm.

United is still shit though, Zlatan makes the difference for them.
Only Spain tops the Bundes in Europe right now, imo.

Of course he was. He still is world class imo. Just inconsistency stops him from being one of the top 3-5 CMs in football. But I could frankly care less about him looking good for a half at home against Southampton. It's as irrelevant as Juve dominating Carpi and Pogba looking good doing that.

Started bad. Grew with the rest of the team 2nd half. Overall a good start i'd say. He had a header just over goal and a shot in extra time to score a goal :tup:
Sounds like he won't need few months to settle in like i thought (because no preseason and new team). But EPL is that much crap that he can start bossing them right from the beginning it seems

I think United will be in the title race till the very last. They have so much quality all over. Must say I expected him to play good..
