You learn more from defeats than wins. If Man U win all their matches in the preseason I would've been very sad. Those unimportant wins would've deceived everyone associated with the club. As ridiculous as it sounds, Calum Chambers last gasp equaliser against Man U may be the most important goal they will concede this season. The wins against Liverpool and Melbourne City would've given everyone a sense of security, building up belief which will in turn lead to unsurmountable pressure during the regular season. Now, we know the team isn't ready. We know they are still a top 6 team. I hope this drawback is maximized during the regular season for the betterment of the team.

Preseason wins could also boost up confidence among players.
Yes, it does; and it could also boost misconception.
