Seems like "we look better than last season" (impossible not to do so, given that it was rock bottom for us) is the emerging excuse that's going to be brought up repeatedly this season.
It's an unbelievable rhetoric almost attempting to anaesthetize how deficient last season really was in reality by protracting it to be a benchmark for the team to springboard from this present campaign.
Hypothetically It's like saving up for years to purchase a car outright only then to find the owner has purchased the Diesel variant of the exact same year, model and mileage from the petrol one they had previously citing they're getting 10mpg better for in town driving.
All in all United are still not performing was well as they were during Eth's initial first season where the team had the ingredients of Solskjaer, Ragnick and himself rolled into one. Even then it's not a standout season given the team lost 9 games but it serves as a better outlier for measuring the progression of the team having amassed 75 points previously.
