To counter the previous Manchester United fan [12:36 BST], the only good player they have let go is Malard, the rest were past their best and fans were calling for them to leave last season. I think the team are being understated as we still have very good players.

There's been a theme to Everton's summer window - signing Leicester players.
Noemie Mouchon, Hannah Cain and Jutta Rantala have all moved north to join Scott Phelan's project, though he has lost regulars Kelly Gago, Katja Snoeijs and Toni Payne.
Brighton have had a fairly productive summer, though losing manager Dario Vidosic a week before the start of the new season was far from ideal.
Former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder Lia Walti is the standout recruit, while Gabby George will add quality in defence.
Republic of Ireland forward Emily Murphy has stepped up from the WSL 2, where she made 10 goal contributions in 15 starts for Newcastle last season.
"The level is just steps above - everything that I thought I was at has to be raised," Murphy told BBC Sport.
"You have to be a bit better, a bit faster. Thankfully, I worked very hard in the off-season."
London City Lionesses made arguably the biggest signing in WSL history earlier this summer by winning the race to sign two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas on a free transfer.
Putellas' former Barcelona team-mate and serial Champions League winner Mapi Leon has joined her in Bromley, as has former England goalkeeper Mary Earps.
Kadidiatou Diana has joined from Lyon to the tune of £500,000, adding yet more star quality to a stacked squad.
Who long it takes for Eder Maestre's squad of superstars to gel remains to be seen.
It's been a busy summer at Aston Villa, but losing top-scorer Kirsty Hanson, who scored 44% of their goals last season, is a big hurdle to overcome.
There has been a Scandinavian theme to their summer recruitment - defender Mathilde Harviken and midfielders Kamilla Melgard and Justine Kielland are all Norway internationals, while striker Amalie Vangsgaard represents Denmark.
The loan signing of talented Manchester City youngster Lily Murphy could prove exciting, more so than the arrival of two new goalkeepers to compete with Ellie Roebuck.

We are yet to receive confirmation that Chelsea's business is done because we believe they are still keen to add in a few positions.
Whether they will is another matter, but I think they will explore options until the deadline closes.
Charlton Athletic still have business to do and we believe former Liverpool defender Leighanne Robe has been training at the club.
West Ham are not expecting anyone in imminently but they could still be active.
London City Lionesses have a few players that could leave the club, though as it stands there's no agreements in place. Likely to be quiet.
Liverpool are happy with their squad and unlikely to do any business, while Tottenham and Aston Villa are done.

Time will tell which clubs did the best business during the transfer window, but we want to hear your opinions and hot takes.

Martin Ho's Tottenham revolution is showing no signs of slowing down after a summer of strong signings.
Kirsty Hanson, last season's third top-scorer in the WSL, arrived from Aston Villa, while Shakiera Martinez also brings attacking quality from West Ham.
Signing France defender Alice Sombath from Lyon is a sign of the club's ambition to challenge for European football, while the free transfers of Caitlin Dijkstra and Victoria Pelova could prove shrewd moves.
Bethany England and Martha Thomas are among those who have departed.
Image source, Getty ImagesIn case you missed it last night - Manchester United have completed the signing of Mexico midfielder Rebeca Bernal from Washington Spirit.
The 29-year-old joins on a three-year contract on a deal believed to be worth up to £300,000.
She can play in the centre of either defence or midfield and will become the first Mexican to feature in the Women's Super League.
"I have experienced a lot of special moments in my career and the privilege of representing Manchester United is truly incredible," said Bernal.
"It is clear that I am joining a great environment. Eva [Olid] is an excellent coach and you can see the determination throughout the whole squad to be successful.
"I cannot wait to begin this new chapter, to give everything and bring all of my experience and passion to help push the team achieve our ambitions."

I'm a Manchester United fan and I think our women's team has had a terrible summer! Change of head coach aside, the summer signings will have little to no effect this season. United will be lucky to finish 5th given the way the "big three" have strengthened their squads.

It looked set to be another underwhelming summer for Manchester United when manager Marc Skinner left the club at the start of August - at that point defender Andrea Medina was their only signing of the window.
But new manager Eva Olid has been given some reinforcements to work with.
Goalkeeper Janina Leitzig arrived from Leicester to give competition to Phallon Tullis-Joyce, before Swedish winger Jusu Bah was brought in for £400,000.
The £300,000 capture of Mexican midfielder Rebecca Bernal could go some way to addressing United's midfield imbalance.
£850,000 was raised through the sale of Melvine Malard to Chelsea, while Millie Turner, Gabby George and Leah Galton have all left.
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City have had a quieter summer window than you might expect for a side looking to build on their long-awaited WSL triumph.
Beth Mead and Niamh Charles add important experience and depth, the latter in particular as left-back was a weak area last term. Germany right-back Carlotta Wamser will take some of the pressure off Kerstin Casparij.
Selling Brazilian winger Kerolin to Barcelona was not in the script, and Andree Jeglertz's side might come to miss her flair.
Arguably City's best bit of business this summer was persuading striker Khadija Shaw to sign a new long-term contract.
After a poor 2025-26 campaign, Sonia Bompastor's Chelsea squad has been given a serious summer shake-up.
France forward Melvine Malard was prised away from Manchester United to the tune of £850,000, reuniting her with the manager that took her to Lyon as a teenager.
Japan midfielder Manaka Matsukubo has arrived from North Carolina Courage, while Katie McCabe made the surprise switch across London after her contract with Arsenal expired.
Recruiting Italian youngster Giulia Dragoni from Barcelona could one day be considered a stroke of genius.
Some pretty big names from Chelsea's era of WSL dominance have departed, namely Millie Bright, Sam Kerr and Guro Reiten.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe WSL transfer deadline days tend to spring big surprises so we'll be keeping a close eye on things but I would expect it to be quieter.
The big news could come from Manchester City who want a midfielder before the deadline closes as cover for the injured Vivianne Miedema.
We reported yesterday they had already made several bids - all turned down - for Paris St-Germain's Jennifer Echegini.
PSG don't want to sell and view her as an important player but we're expecting City to have another go and if not, where will they look?
After finishing second in the WSL in each of the past two seasons, Arsenal's summer business suggests they will be hard to stop this year.
The Gunners have added world class quality and winning experience in the form of England midfielder Georgia Stanway and Spain full-back Ona Batlle, as well as a new goalkeeper in Misa Rodriguez. All three were free transfers.
Arsenal have also looked to the future with the signings of 19-year-old Germany forward Lisa Baum from RB Leipzig, and 18-year-old Danish goalkeeper Isabella Damm from Brondby IF.
Right, let's take a look at who has been on the move ahead of the first 14-team WSL season.

Former Chelsea and England captain Millie Bright, who retired from playing in April, has announced she is pregnant.
"It’s been very hard to keep it a secret, but it’s finally out," Bright told Women's Health Magazine.
"It’s the greatest gift you can be given - to bring a life into the world - so we’re excited."
Bright enjoyed a stellar career with Chelsea, winning eight WSL titles and six FA Cups.
She helped England win Euro 2022 and captained the Lionesses in the 2023 Women's World Cup final.

She flew into London overnight after playing in PSG's Champions League qualifying victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
She has already passed a medical and terms have been agreed so it's just a matter of doing media duties and final paperwork.

Image source, Getty ImagesI believe West Ham are working on a deal to bring in midfielder Abi Brighton from Juventus as first reported by Italian journalist Mauro Munno. I’m told the fee could exceed £100,000. There’s still work to do there but it’s close.
