No city are miles ahead of us. If we get a WC holding midfielder and a wc centre half - plus Sancho - then maybe we can get closer.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Clearly the most relevant part is who was managing at the time!
Fergie for the first 6 helped!
Another Southgate masterclass then.
Not on pens
1 holding midfielder away from the title after Varane. Inches away from the EPL ladies and gentlemen.. It's coming hooome!!
Ole is a worse manager than Tuchel and Pep.
To beat CFC and MCFC, with Ole in charge, we'll need to have a squad far better than both....which we don't.
It would be a miracle if we won the league.
Now, if we bought Varane AND Haaland, it could be argued that our squad would pip MCFC's and that would quite possibly put us within striking distance of finishing in 1st place.
Realistically, 3rd or 4th place.
2nd place would be a good result.
1st place would suggest the use of the darkest black magic or voodoo.
Don’t. Fecking. Jinx. Haven’t you learned with homecoming? City got it wrapped
Found Ole's Alt account. Or his mum's.
Not without a holding midfielder and Pogba staying. Even then I think we’re a year and a top striker/Mason developing away.
We are edging ever closer to the team we aspire to be. I am excited for the coming season. I'm not sure if we can get the title this season. Just a feeling. Even with the new addition(s). I hope i'm wrong.
With McFred playing as much as they do, no chance. If we sign someone who is ready to fill the gap then maybe. Varane is also a must and a back up right back. Three further signings then I can back it, if not, no way. Quote me.

Well we have to believe we can win it, whether we will or not is a difficult answer as the transfer window hasn't shut yet and it looks likely Rashford will be out for a while.
My heart says we will and my brain is laughing saying don't be silly.

I'll quote you to the doctor I'm referring you to
. Seriously, you think City and Chelsea (to name just two) aren't going to strengthen their squads too? Come back to us when we've lost to the likes Norwich or Brentford at home...We're in for a rude awakening if we thing we're getting anywhere close to a title challenge this season.
We'll comfortably finish in the top 4 though, but a title challenge seems unrealistic.

Anything but a title challenge next season is a catastrophic failure.
No more excuses. Ole needs to deliver.
Agree with you, but without sorting out our central midfield, we're still going to find it difficult to break teams down at OT, and even the most deluded fans would not expect us to replicate our away form, especially the comebacks, with crowds in the stadiums.
Ole is gonna be offered a contract extension in a couple weeks, though.
It’s cominh ho- oh.. uh I mean we gonna win the league!
I don’t know if we get a few signing in we could put together a title challenge, whether we win or not is a different story but I’m more optimistic this season.
That doesn't mean much.
I've heard it here first.
I think you have to draw a line at some point though and expect a league challenge.
If we're bringing in Sancho and we get someone like Varane we simply have to be winning major trophies, even if we continue to play with this cautious style. Ole inherited a good team, not an amazing one, and has added his first choice RB, CB, CM/AM and now RW, plus (fingers crossed) another CB. Plus all the depth signings like VdB, James, Telles, Cavani, Amad, Pellestri.
I've always been the same with how I see our squad - I want to see the football style develop before we spend big on established players. Sancho I don't have an issue with because we need an RW desperately. However, I still can't see how our tactical setup/style of play is going to close the gap on 3 very innovative/tactically obsessive managers in Pep, Klopp and Tuchel who all have money to spend as well. We'll definitely finish top four in my opinion and, at least one of those three will have a meltdown but we are too cautious and draw way too many games to win the league as it stands.
Realistically, if City and Chelsea get proper funding for their transfers, they will be fighting for 1-2 places in EPL. We will likely be fighting for 3-4 with Liverpool.
Could also be worse than this since there are a lot of other capable clubs in EPL, but just thinking this is the most obvious / likely scenario if everybody performs as expected.

You're underestimating Liverpool. They tend to surprise people when the public least expects it.
3rd place behind Manchester City and Chelsea.
No chance that Solskjaer will lead us to a title.

Whichever team from the top 4 gets Grealish (modern day Ronaldinho) is going to win the league next year.
I think we will come second place again behind Manchester City if certain precondition are met.
1.) City buys Grelish and Kane they win the league (if they only buy one, then they might not win league).
2.) Chelsea does not buy Haaland (if Chelsea buys haaland, then they might come in 2nd or first depending on if city buys Grelish and Kane)
3.) United buys Sancho, and Varane, and a cm if Pogba leaves.
At the moment, if things stay the same, I would say we should win the league.

City will win it easy again. We will be fighting it out hard with liverpool and chelsea. Leicester will be distant 5th or so. Lets go get a cup like an FA cup.
You can't be serious with the bolded
Like what has Grealish done to deserve that comparison?
No.
Man City are clear favourites.
As it stands we have too many issues to address in one transfer window.

Its a piss take. Someone else said it in another thread.You can't be serious with the bolded

I think it will be a battle for 3rd.
Top 2 is decided with City and Chelsea who have better squads and managers. Liverpool surely won't be as shit as they were this season, despite that they only finished 5 points behind us!
I fear another underwhelming season

Yeah you should be banned for this comment.
Grealish can do flick flack, rabona flick, no look pass consistently? First I heard of..
You've obviously not followed the Jack Grealish thread then.
Agreed. If he joins a top team, they win the title, and he's certain to win the PFA Player of the Year.
Just picture Grealish and Shaw on the left. Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos reimagined.
Don’t worry. They will be found.
