Are 17% of Dream manchester united jersey photo Team managers getting it wrong backing Philippe Coutinho ahead of Game Week 1?

It would have been perfectly reasonable if the Brazilian needed some time to readjust to the world's most-watched league but instead he scored 14 minutes into his debut for the Villains, against Man United no less.

This sparked a hot streak that resulted in four goals and three assists from the 30-year-old's first eight ga manchester united jersey beckham mes for his new club – not to mention 46 points at a superbKelley O'Hara Jerseys average of 5.75 per outing.

In fact, had he finished stronger in 2021/22 he would be a very savvy selection but his two-month dry spell is difficult to disregard completely.

We'd be happy for him to prove us wrong!
