I like the look of this United team, especially defensively. I think in De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire and Shaw, you probably don't need to improve on any of them for the next 4-5 years and whilst they may not have been seamless today, they're all good players who will only get better as a unit. I think United could do with some consistency anyway though, just having a reliable back five that you know will be playing every week can only be a good thing and since Vidic and Ferdinand, they haven't had that.
The only obvious player I'd want to swap in that team would be Pereira but all the rest should come good if they get time to play together. I'm not sure who I'd want in that role though, that's a gap that should have been filled in the transfer window.
The comments about both teams are overly harsh I think, they're both going with younger talent who are new to the side, so it's not going to mesh perfectly yet. I think there's more potential in this United team despite Chelsea playing better today.
