Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim is the third United manager to win each of their first three games in charge in major European competition after Matt Busby in 1956 and Alex Ferguson in 1990.

One could argue the contract uncertainty surrounding key trio Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk is one minor negative. But then, you could also argue that the club is futureproofing in the knowledge that two of them are well into their thirties and the other seems almost certain to head abroad.
