There were plenty of promising signs for Spurs in their draw away at Brentford as they began life without Harry Kane.
While things are not yet perfect, the same could easily be said of United.
They squeezed past Wolves in controversial fashion on Monday, hardly looking their absolute best.
Still, few would doubt this is a big early test for Postecoglou’s team and their progress under his watch.
