Manchester United ran out comfortable 1-0 winners in the opening game of the Premier League season against a lacklustre Tottenham side.

An unlucky own goal courtesy of Kyle Walker was the difference, but Spurs never really looked like competing despite a late push in the final minutes and United barely got out of second gear while beating the north London side.

But after a mere 90 minutes of Premier League football done and a long way to go - just what have we learnt..?

1. Daniel Levy's moth-riddled wallet is going to have to come out eventually

Daniel Levy

Daniel. Please. I know you don't like spending money but just LOOK at this starting XI. Tottenham could do with strengthening in a number of different areas. Another striker. A central midfielder. Hell anyone who's actually world class.

They can't continue to rely on Eriksen and Kane to pull them out of the mire every weekend and Poch must be crying out for a blank cheque to go out and get reinforcements. Do the right thing Daniel, it's not that painful I promise.

2. Manchester United are genuine title contenders

After a slow start United ran out comfortable winners against a Tottenham side devoid of ideas, but that doesn't make their performance any less impressive.

The Red Devils have the strength in depth to mount a serious title challenge, and with mercurial new signing Memphis Depay and Wayne Rooney back in his preferred central striker role, there's no reason why they can't push Chelsea and Arsenal all the way.

3. Anyone would think Bastian Schweinsteiger is basically Jesus Christ resurrected the amount United fans were going on about him

I mean just look at this lot, haven't these people got got families?
