With just under 90 minutes left before we kick off a new season let's have your reasons as to why we COULD have a good season.
We've had plenty of negativity on here so let's have some positivity please!
Here's some of mine:
Ten Hag and co has us a much better drilled team on and off the ball.
Shaw and Maguire capture some of their Euro 2020 form. It's there we just need to see it more often.
Martinez gives us much better build up play from the back.
Eriksen adds guile to midfield. I'd rather him and Fred than McT and Fred in thr two.
Bruno discovers some form again.
Rashford and Sancho improve on last season after a good pre-season.
I won't mention Martial and Ronaldo much as that has been done to death but those two, if they can stay available most of the season is better than relying on Ronaldo and (part-time) Cavani.
Optimism

I’ll go to my grave feeling we should have brought in Conte but if Ten Hag is backed we may well take the step forward we’ve needed since SAF left

Conte with our upper management is a recipe for a nuclear bomb.

People said the same about Levy and Conte beat him into submission. I’m sure he wouldn’t have had any issues getting money out of our club as no other managers have been hamstrung
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He'd have massive problems getting the players he wants, as all managers since Fergie have

There was nothing to beat though, have they spent more than 50 million this year net? Their biggest signing being a quintessential Levy signing (young british signing that is easily sellable). Lets just say he has Kane and Son added to kulushevski is enough for Conte to challenge so no noises. He certainly wont have been quiet if he had Martial and a wantaway ronaldo as his top 2 strikers.

I’m certain if he came in last October that we would have made the CL and he’d have gotten all the players he wanted. There’s no reason to believe our club is the reason Ten Hag hasn’t gotten who he’s wanted. He may just be obstinate about wanting FDJ and is prepared to wait.

There's no reason. Apart from the fact that none of our managers EVER get the players they want and several have been quite outspoken about that fact. Unless Conte is actually negotiating and brokering the deals (he isn't) he'd wind up very disappointed by the mechanisations at United

Managers all hated Levy until Conte rocked up. Sometimes it takes a strong manager to force the hand of the club. We have no Ed now anyway so perhaps Conte would have enjoyed working with Arnold more than other managers did with Ed. It’s done now and we messed up not getting a guy who I think will get Spurs challenging for the title this season. Hopefully Ten Hag proves me wrong

I don't doubt Conte's ability at all. But I just think thid club is a disaster in terms of transfers and decision making. And unfortunately most of the signs this summer are that getting rid of Ed whilst keeping his minions hasn't changed all that much

Let's be optimistic - we don't have to watch that game again. Or something. Whatever.
Let's all add 'We Win' to our names.

Reasons to be optimistic? We all have to play United twice 😂
