Man United have made a great start to the season, with a pair of players earning deserved recognition for the way they’ve kicked things off.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Red Devils have stuck seven points on the board to start the campaign. By any metric, that’s a positive way to kick things off.
We all know this team should be challenging for major honours, even more so now that Cristiano Ronaldo is in town.
Although we haven’t looked at our best in a couple of matches, we’ve been able to secure points which is the basis that any decent team will look to build on from.
Two players, in particular, have stood out. Mason Greenwood has three goals in three games, while Paul Pogba’s on-ball brilliance has been there for all to see.
I’m pleased to report that both have been rewarded with a spot in WhoScored’s first Team of the Month this campaign. Rightly so, too.

Let’s start with Greenwood, who actually has the third-highest average rating in the Premier League by WhoScored’s metrics. It’s not just his goals, the overall play has drastically improved.
It’s so easy to forget that this young man is still nineteen and he’s only going to improve. Although some hold doubts about his development being stunted due to Ronaldo’s arrival, I firmly believe it’ll only make the young man from Bradford even better.
What can you say about Pogba’s start to the season that hasn’t already been said? The Frenchman has been on fire – and it has been an absolute joy to watch him play like this.
We all know what he’s capable of when he wants to be. Sadly, we haven’t seen that enough, but we’re all thrilled to see him perform like this now. His four assists during our first game was the start of things to come and his 7.82 rating is more than deserved.
Congratulations, lads!
