TrentVilla Posted August 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm really intrigued to see what United are like this season, I quite fancy them to go close for the title. I'd love them to spank WHU today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 From what I saw against Real Madrid I think they lack creativity. City look the much better bet for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see United strangling sides and blugeoning sides into submission in true Jose style. Not sure it will be enough to win it but I think they will challenge. Coty has far more flair the question is do they have the steel and can Pep be pragmatic. Its the old battle of the rugged v pretty, so often Jose has come out on top in the past so he can't be ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think they will challenge but when I looked at the City bench yesterday with Sane, Sterling and Bernado silva that is strong. With them playing 3 at the back it will allow Walker and Mendy to rampage forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying United won't be 5th this season, whoever finishes ahead of them wins the league in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm still very unimpressed by United squad, they have a lot of unspectacular players, in fact do they have any top class outfield players now Zlatan is on the sidelines? If Pogba was a local lad breaking through nobody would be excited particularly by him. My prediction is that they'll sneak into the CL places but not threaten the leaders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Big season for Pogba. he has a lot to prove. was very poor against Real Madrid. I agree with Trent though United will finish 2nd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think they'll go close this year. Between the 2 Manchester teams for the title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Functional teams/squads win titles, not spectacular players although those that do often have them in. City have the spectacular squad, no question about that but as as I said previously it takes more than that to win a title. United have a better squad than when they last won it under Fergie and they now have a manager with that extra factor like him which Moyes and LVG didn't have. Jose has got them winning things again, he will win more it's just what he does. I don't see Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool finishing above them. Chelsea and City are their rivals but Chelsea look like they may have some issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Agree think it’s between the Manchester sides for the title with the other side coming 2nd. Very early days but some of the PL games have been pretty exciting on a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Man Utd have that look about them that can grind out results. Looking at the Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea defence this weekend, trained chimps could do better. A rock solid defence goes a long way to winning the title. I think Man U are getting to that point. If not this year, then probably next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
