Unless they pop up under the radar I don't think they have anything on united or Chelsea this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yeah not convinced by City's defensive structure and can see them giving away cheap goals like last season that costs them wins. Man. United got a much better defensive shape and they've got plenty more goals in them than last season so I make them favourites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 With Guardiola in charge it's unlikely they will win the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2017 Extremely early in the season but United look the side that has improved the most this summer, they also have the best balance in their side. Jose and his second season run to be extended.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If the re-sign Zlatan they will be in an incredibly strong position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku is leading the line well and they're not likely to play 2 out and out strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder that because Zlatan won't be cheap obviously. With CL and the domestic cups which Jose always takes seriously they might want 2 top strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I get having depth up front, but both Lukaku and Zlatan would want to be number 1. I think it would be difficult to accommodate both IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, richest club in the world should be able to afford him as a "luxury". Some of those wages do get offset in shirt and commercial revenue and general club profile. It will depend on ZI as he will know he'll have to spend some time on the bench. At his age, with the injury he just had he might be ok with it.

VillaChris Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 He's doing his rehab at their training ground. I think the plan has always been to offer him a deal at xmas for the second half of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The title will definitely end up in Manchester that's for sure. I fancy United. They have got a genuine world class side and the best team they have had in years. They will take some beating at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 20, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2017 They look very good. But they looked very good after a couple of games last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
