Peacock is a must-have, in my opinion.  They make sure that a few of the really exciting early season games are online only, to bump subscriptions.  It's worth it.

I look at United and I see a team that flew under the radar a bit last year.  I don't see a solid number 9.  Martial might be sold, which would further weaken them in the attack.  Rashford just had shoulder surgery and will probably be out at least until November.  Fred and McTominay at your holding midfield is simply not championship quality.

I love Varane, and think he will be an excellent partner to The Fridge in the middle of your defense.  I hope you hold on to Eric Bailly and give him a fair chance, because his athleticism is really top rate.

United has some terrific players in the lineup who have not been used that well to date, like Van de Beek, for example.  If Ole can get rid of Pogba and find another good holding midfielder to break up McFred, I think they will be top 4.  But without another signing up front, I don't think Sancho by himself out on the wing (or Jesse LIngaard, if he gets a legit chance) are going to make up the 20 goals you need from your striker position.

I think that Cavani is still your best guy up front, but he's what 35 years old now?  And he's not a big battering ram like Zlatan.   He relies on his quickness.  His excellent reading of the game, and timing of his runs, makes him invaluable to you.  But I don't know that he can be your main man.
