I'm not sure we've been slow off the mark. Inconsistent maybe.
An away draw at City and Arsenal is more than acceptable. These are our two most difficult PL fixtures all season, and both in the first month (hopefully we'll see the benefit of that later on).
So, it's only the one game that's not gone well. Newcastle. And that was diabolical. 80% possession and losing. No excuses, we were total dogshit in that. Now we can't afford any more fuck ups at home against bottom feeders for the rest of 2019/20!
Also keeping Eriksen is massive. Agreed. God knows what sort of team we'll have next year and whether we'll get any money for him if he does leave, but at least now everyone on the football side (manager, coaches, players, fans) can fully focus on the job in hand - this season's football matches. Levy can worry about contracts and finances.

Manchester United will wear Juventus style black and white striped kit next season
Manchester United haven't made the best start to the new season. After beating Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford in their opening league fixture, things have gone downhill for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. A 1-1 draw with Wolves followed, before an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace last weekend. On Saturday, Solskjaer's side failed to bounce back, drawing 1-1 with 10-man Southampton. Of course, it's not worth getting too concerned yet, considering there are still 34 Premier League games and nine months of the season to go.
Even though the 2019/20 campaign has only just kicked off, it seems that United's kit manufacturers are already planning for the future. According to The Sun, Adidas will be making a massive change to one of the club's shirts next year, by using a 'Juventus-style black and white striped design'. It will be featured on one of their 'change' kits - which means United will still be in red and black at home. At the moment, it's unclear if the new design will be for the away or third strip. One thing that is certain though, is that it will be very different from what we've seen in recent years. In fact, the last time the Red Devils played in black and white stripes was way back in 1979.
Although that design has been used on Juventus kits since 1903, the Italian side actually moved away from their classic stripes over the summer. Cristiano Ronaldo and co. are still turning out in a black and white shirt, but it's not stripy and fans certainly weren't happy when that news was announced. With the latest reports suggest that United could be borrowing that design next season, Adidas really have risked upsetting the Juve fanbase even more. Still, the news should excite fans of the Manchester club.
It's just a shame the football itself will make them look more like Newcastle than Juventus.

@tosh_rose Man I hate Give Me Sport.
They write such shitty articles with nonsense headlines. Anyone can clearly see that is not a 'Juventus Style' shirt. They just throw this shit in because the article will pop up on 'Cristiano Ronaldo' search algorithms for their advertising hits. Like, notice how they mention him in the body text for no reason.
It's a plain white shirt with some black trim, most of which is adidas branding. Nothing more nothing less.

I dont know this site, trully believe you in what you said, ever since my time as a student when I worked in a sports site and paper all my PCs laptops etc have every search site I know that shows me everything online that has Juve in it in several languages, and this one I laughed because of the last sentence I bolded and wanted to share, but it would have been strange to quote only that without the whole article.
Agree, a bullshit written article, I know how it works, I used to write so many bullshit headlines only for the clicks, sad thing is my editors encouraged those type of articles instead of an opinion based ones, where you can express your thoughts, analyze, point some facts... All they care about is the goddamn clicks.
Dantes, sorry, cant seem to just quote your nickname from my phone, my nephew played with it last week and everyday I find some new problem..

Also The Athletic is turning out some great content nowadays. It's football focus is PL and CL, but hoping they expand scope and relax the paywall in future.
