EPL Game 3 - Man City 1:0 Man Utd

Words fail to come out of my mouth as I fail to understand what's going on?
Three matches gone, and it's their worst start to a season. United have played the same style of football that won them the last Premiership and yet they've only got 2 points! We lost to City which hardly had a proper attack going all through match. Rooney and Ronaldo absences notwithstanding, the team played with similar flair. They almost score as early as 5th minute. Tevez and Scholes combined to feed Nani a great ball, whose shot was well saved by Schmeichel. United kept attacking but couldn't find the net, the sad story so far in their campaign. United could have scored had they had even a touch of luck. For instance, when Schmeichel spilled a shot, it fell between 2 United forwards just a yard away from each of them. And their defender, Richards was doing well to keep all the dangerous balls away. Giovanni's shot which got them the goal came off a deflection! United could have got an equalizer so easily when Tevez's header just missed the bar in the dying moments and so could they when Vidic's header hit the post.
To sum it up I really don't know what will happen this season. The boss has not panicked yet but has been praising the team which according to me is the right thing to do. Knowing United, it's only a matter of time before they start winning. Lets hope for the best.
