Manchester United have completed the first two months of the 2015-16 season, currently sitting atop the Premier League, while finding themselves in a wide open Champions League group. It appears for the moment that the Red Devils have returned to the form that’s made them one of the most legendary clubs in the world, but can the club continue that as the campaign goes on?

United opened the Premier League season with a pair of 1-0 wins over Tottenham and Aston Villa. As many players will say, three points is three points, but the club looked less than convincing in both matches, and that continued in a lackluster draw with Newcastle followed by a loss at Swansea, a club that has given United fits over the last two years. But the arrival of Anthony Martial and others on deadline day brought a new spark to Louis van Gaal’s charges, as they won all three EPL matches in September, over Liverpool, Southampton, and Sunderland. Those wins, coupled with Manchester City’s two upset losses, sees the Red Devils atop the League for the first time since the opening weekend of 2013/14.

In the Champions League, the club have endured far fewer struggles. They did concede an early own goal to Club Brugge in the first leg of the play-off round tie, but thanks to Memphis Depay – followed by Wayne Rooney in the return leg – the Red Devils comfortably clinched a spot in the group stage. Although they opened group play with a loss at PSV, it’s been widely acknowledged that the game was the toughest of United’s away matches, so to have it out of the way will be a relief. A come-from-behind home win over Wolfsburg – coupled with CSKA’s win over PSV – means all four clubs in Group B have three points after two matches, with plenty to play for the remaining four matchdays.

Manchester United return to Premier League action Sunday when they travel to Arsenal. This has been historically one of the marquee Premier League fixtures, although Arsenal’s recent EPL struggles have taken away from the game’s mystique. The Red Devils need to take measures to not get caught looking ahead to the international break the following week, or their home date with City on October 25th. They’ve done well the first two months, but can they keep it up over a long season?
