    I think Utd will be top 8 this season. Their new strike force will spawn a few more wins than last season.

      Yep agreed.

      Their problem last season was converting chances, whereas the season before it was creating them. You can solve conversion more easily than creation, and I think their two new additions will help on that front.

      They were also getting a bit more solid towards the end of the season, not as many gaps between the lines.

      They still need major surgery in midfield and arguably in defence as well, so that will trip them up, but I think comfortably top 8 next season, especially with only one game per week.

      Booo, would love to see them 15th or lower again

        Loan offer for Martinez rejected by Villa. Whereas we're sniffing around Isak.

        If there was any doubt about the gulf between the two clubs at the moment.

          Headline on the BBC football website right now - 'Man Utd wont sell players on the cheap - Amorim'

          Thats right Ruben you wont. Instead these **** players will go on loan in the last couple of days of the transfer window and United will supplement the players wages

            And then they'll leave on a free when their contracts end

              Bizarre to see how they've treated Hojlund really. I get that he's been a disappointment, but he's a young lad who should never have been bought to lead the line.
              Really?

                    Onana and Hojland have something going on?

                        I've seen a few stories on The Athletic that are starting to gush over how good United look, especially Cunha, based on a couple of pre-season matches.

                        Long may that continue, as i think they've forgotten (trauma and all that) just how **** United were last season, especially in terms of conceding chances

                          Not having European football will help them spend more time preparing for games and reducing tiredness, I expect they will do better than last season basically because I think that is probably their floor (I'd love to be proved wrong though...). The couple of attacking players they have signed will help them score more goals, which I think will help them pick up more points against some of the weaker teams in the league, but IMO they really needed to improve their defence and GK and make themselves more difficult to play through. They don't seem to have made signings that will help in that regard, so as things stand it will have to come down to tactical tweaks, so I guess we will see how that goes.
                          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                            They will have real ambitions this year.

                            Perhaps even to finish above Everton
                            In the beginning, Fowler created the Heaven and the Earth.

                              I really hope this season will show us why we swerved Amorim, from a tactical perspective.

                              But let's see, I guess. I do feel they are fragile, so a bad start might compound
