I know they're against the type of teams United struggled against at times last season, but they really have a shot at setting a good pace when looking at their fixtures. Could easy win the first four, but there is eventually a crazy run of Leicester City, Liverpool, Spurs, Man City. Still, potential to go into that run at or near the top.

For being such a big rival, you guys love to make beating Leeds look easy.

Between him and Rashica for Norwich, it’s so nice to see guys from my FM Forest save make it back to the top flight.

Historical rival ≠ competitive rival.

In all fairness I think Leeds do a good job themselves of helping out United

Right. These first few fixtures are vital to setting the tone for sure for the rest of the season.

No Kane in the squad due to fitness, which is not surprising…but still surprising he didn’t make the expanded bench for a late jog on if a goal is needed.
