I'm excited to see who we sign this summer, I always am but this year feels like it could be an important one because it feels like Jose nearing completion of his vision for the squad and his template for success. He's identified who he wants to get rid of and can bring in players more to his liking. I think summer 2019 may be the final piece of the jigsaw in that regard, as that may be when we finally move on the likes of Young and Valencia, whereas this year is more about buying their successors.
I'm excited to see if we can then actually implement and succeed with Jose's vision and template for success. There will be zero excuses next season. Jose knows how he wants to play, he knows who he already has that cannot play that way, and he has to chance over the summer to address that. The target for 2018-19 absolutely has to be either a Premier League win or a Champions League win. We know we're good enough for domestic cups and finshing second, but as many people around the club and all of the supporters will tell you, Manchester United has to aim for more than that.
I'm excited to see what Jose's plan actually looks like - so far we're mainly seeing a switch to 4-3-3, we've seen excellent results against top six teams in recent months, improved performances from Pogba (though still inconsistent) and we've also seen the ways in which we can still improve. We've dropped points against bottom-half opposition, looked awful in attack, and lacked real creativity or desire. We have to hope that what we are seeing now is a stepping stone towards Jose's real vision, and not the finished article just lacking the players he wants.
