Turned out it was the same formation, but different tactics.
- Pogba given free role to roam, pick up the ball all over the pitch and pick his passes. Worked to a tee with more assists in the opening game than the whole of last season.
- McFred anchor was not quite the same as last season, with one of them pushing up to join attacks frequently.
- Greenwood led the line intelligently, not getting into unnecessary physical duels with the Leeds defence. His pace and finishing for the goal was outstanding. He would have registered an assist had Pogba not shot wide at 0-0.

Heck, even Lindelof showed his distribution prowess with the pass to from defence to pick out Bruno for his hat trick. And what a goal that was.

Brilliant from what is essentially the same team from last season. Hope it's not just euphoria from having a packed stadium again. Especially when Varane and Sancho get up to speed.

Well analized by bro Imom ...not sure wat is going to happen to Lingard now...surplus to requirements ???....is he going back to the Hammers where DM wants him back badly ???
