6th
6th again, Chelsea to drop out of top 6 but think Leicester will finish above us. We should concede less goals but will still be a low scoring team and aside from Pogba our midfielders aren’t even top half players.
6th. Could leapfrog arsenal but could get leapfrogged by one of the leceisters, wolves evertons etc.
5th
If we miraculously get a CM by the window closes - good chance of 4th
without a decent CM - fighting for 6th again

5th
6th again like I predicted last year. Our transfer window has been OK, it's just not enough to catch up because there's still too many holes in the starting 11.
4th.
On the surface, we have less goals in us now, but I think we have, as a unit of 5, probably the best defense in the league, so will need less goals to win games
We used to do really well with Cantona scoring and us winning one nil. I think this team will be a bit like that.

Yeah this sums up what I currently feel. I think some of those players will have improved since last season and are fitter, and the signings will tighten the defence. We were in the running for 4th last year despite a terrible season.
We will be 8th when Ole resigns/asked to leave. With new manager will rally and end in 6th. That's my prediction. Deja vu.
Thank you Mods, for adding a poll.
Not much optimism. Match day threads will make for fun reading. I really think we can get third. If we can show the form we had when Ole first took over and not fall off drastically like we did i feel third place is possible.
4th potentially 3rd if we can 15+ league goals from Martial and Rashford. We weren't far off last year and we had the worst final month possible. We're in a better position going into the season than Arsenal and Chelsea and the hype over Leicester and Wolves is overblown.
5th - below Arsenal but above Chelsea.
I dont see a threat from below, Leicester haven't replaced Maguire, leaving Morgan as a probable 1st choice CB, with Soyuncu & Benkovic as back up. Wolves will find it tougher this season what with being in the Europa League.

1st , have some faith guys.
5th or 6th. Battle with Arsenal
1st easily. I don’t see why we can’t finish the season with 117 points.
I’m going for either 4th or 5th. Think it’s between us and Arsenal for that final CL position. Arsenal have a shit defence and haven’t strengthened it whilst you could say the same about our midfield. Will come down to who is more consistent.
6th.
Last season we were somewhat on fire from start, but imploded in the second half. Hopefully our current fitnesslevel will enable us to keep it going to the final whistle.
I recon 3rd!

I was going to vote 4th but went with the same option and voted 5th. We are one Pogba injury away and the quality of our midfield will be exposed.
So Ole will finish above Poch?
6th to 8th
I feel sorry for people who genuinely think Maguire, AWB and James will push the needle for us
Our midfield and attack is 10th place standard

33/1 to win the league I seen on a betting site... definitely worth a score.
We needed players in midfield. Zero new signings. We are selling the Only centre forward in the roster with no replacement on the Horizon.
This
Despite being shite for 2/3 of last season we almost scraped fourth - we should've got fourth. And that included our main striker being fecking terrible.
We will get second, third at worst. Depends on 'pool

4th. I think it's a poor state but we're lucky that
A. Arsenal just don't spend enough in general
B. Chelsea have a transfer ban
I was really expecting pushing 3rd and a foundation being built this season but with no attacking improvements, a fight for 4th which I expect we'll achieve.

What you said.
3rd. I just can’t see how Arsenal (5th), Spurs (4th) and Chelsea (8th) will finish above us
Why not? They lost a more than 1:3 last season.
Depends on what happens in the remaining transfer window. If Poch doesn’t get a combination of Lo Celso/Bruno and Coutinho to replace Eriksen, then I believe Ole would finish on top. If Poch keeps Eriksen and get Lo Celso/Bruno/Coutinho, it would be difficult for Ole to finish above him aswell. However, If Poch just get Lo Celso/Bruno/Countinho to replace Eriksen, which I assume will happen then Ole will finish above. Poch didn’t address the squad depth issue and just replace one of their best players with a less talented footballer. They have become weaker even with N’Dombele in midfield.
6th or even 7th.
5th - we'll be off 4th by a few points if we get a few injuries, and will just about make 4th if everything goes our way.
Liverpool, City and Spurs will all finish above us... we'll be fighting for that 4th spot with Chelsea and Arse.
We might have strengthened the defense, but the reason we finished 6th last season wasn't because of a leaky defense. I think it was because we simply couldn't score enough because of lack of creativity upfront and lack of composure and we still haven't strengthened that area.
I hope I'm wrong, but I predict a crappy 5th... a few points behind 4th

Was a tongue-in-cheek to reply to our resident Poch fan. I think United will be lower than Spurs though - we're much more unstable over the last 2-3 years (actually more). Last window when Spurs signed no one, people expected the same.
In my opinion, Spurs will still finish above us. This is one of the best Spurs side in recent memory (when did they last reach CL final and were in contention for PL?). They haven't lost any big players (Kane/Alli/Eriksen yet?) and have plans to replace the few who do leave. They had 1 gaping hole i.e holding mid where they have got a potential WC player (only time will tell though). In any circumstance - Spurs in still a balanced/settled squad unlike us.
5th, unless Pogba gets injured, in which case we're going down.
5th been optimistic. Without Pogba , possible Moyes level and losing Ole .
Six people so far think that with a worse midfield and forward line than last season that United are going to overturn a 32-point gap to Man City, who have strengthened their midfield.
I admire that type of completely baseless, blind optimism.
