In real-life, it looks like José Mourinho has found the perfect blend between pace and power with new signings like Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian's eye for goal and willingness to make runs has also noticeably helped Paul Pogba settle in during his second season back in Manchester. This campaign could be fruitful for United.

It's shocking then to see that they are actually the weakest of the 3 Premier League sides included in FIFA 18's demo. Check that 83 attacking score out and gasp, because it doesn't seem to reflect the talents of Lukaku, Zlatan Ibrahimović or even Marcus Rashford. You could even add Anthony Martial into that company, because the French youngster will probably have another high rating this year.

Defensively, Man Utd have a low 81 rating too. It feels like EA are selling them short, although they (like the rest of us) must have watched how uninspiring José's men were last season. Things have changed though, and they surely deserve to be a little more competitive with teams like Chelsea and Man City.
