Excitement is brimming around Old Trafford once again after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's summer transfer business has looked to put Manchester United back in with a shot at title contention.
A thumping victory over Leeds to kick off their campaign added plenty of encouragement as fans purred over Paul Pogba's link-up with Bruno Fernandes in the 5-1 rout.
But a disappointing draw at Southampton, followed by a somewhat fortuitous victory against Wolves raised the same questions over United's title credentials.
The impending return of Cristiano Ronaldo has allayed those concerns - at leat temporarily - and some standout performances throughout the squad has also provided plenty of promise.
Raphael Varane looked every inch the world class solution to United's centre-back problem on his debut at Molineux, and his arrival looks to have boosted Aaron Wan-Bissaka alongside him.
David de Gea was in fine form in the narrow 1-0 win, making a string of top saves to keep a clean sheet.
Meanwhile, it fell to Mason Greenwood to find the decisive strike - his third in as many games - as his hot streak in front of goal continues.
That brought him level with Fernandes - who fired an impressive hat-trick against Leeds, while Fred has also been on the scoresheet twice, though once was in his own net.
Elsewhere, Jadon Sancho has got his first start under his belt following his £73m move, while Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw have been as dependable as ever.
