maybe im crazy but i still think we will get top four this season.a few more need to step and contribute goals.imo rashford is trying a little too hard,prob trying to justify his place in the team and i think he should have been used more as a central striker.

Oh yeah. More than confident that we can still make top 4!
 
I think its a huge problem that major clubs such as United are given the opportunity to compete in the Europa League given the huge disparity in resources between them and the other participants. Especially now that there is an incentive of a CL spot.

Most of the other Europa League participants will never have the opportunity to get the CL spot through their leagues because of the huge disparity between them and the likes of PSG, Madrid, Barcelona etc. Now Europa League avenue is closed off to them as well.

Thus was always the case the UEFA Cup that often made that a much stronger competition in depth when the European Cup was as it should be still. Champions against Champions in a straight knock-out format.

If English clubs from the major European TV market, because let's be honest we're the only Country that has disgracefully sacked off the Europa League, had treated it with the respect it deserves, it wouldn't of come down to having to offer a Champions League place to the winners to garner interest.

If you wouldn't of excluded the bigger clubs when all the end result of winning the UEFA Cup/ Europa League was the honour of winning a European major and entry into the following seasons tournament to defend it; then it'd be completely unfair to now penalise those same clubs just down to the way the money disparity now is across Europe IMHO.

Had Utd down for fourth in here the pre-season predictions. (L'pool, City, 'Spurs were my top 3. That Chelsea run has skewed that.).

Don't see the top 4/5 changing from here on out in whatever order they end up. (The only change I'd think would be City and not Arsenal in the top 4 places.).

Utd are what, 4 behind which is in effect two wins given your paltry GS/ GD. Relying on going on a 4/5 game straight winning run with others dropping points.

Can't see it the ridiculously high pace everyone is rolling at this season but with 45 points left to play for, every place in that top 4 is still wide open.
 
Ogden and the Express also reporting this morning an Semendo RB from Benfica been a deal agreed. Can't believe anything like from us being linked with players from Benfica, but that Malachians guy and a few other reports not just in Portuguese press saying we are defo still interested in him and Linderlof. If true can see us lining up next season

DDG
Semedo-Bailly-Linderlof-Shaw
New CM- Pogba
Mky-Griezmann-Martial
Zlatan or New STR

can defo see us going for RB, CB, CM, STR and Griezmann. My guess Semedo, Linderlof, Icardi or Lukaku, Bakayoko or Kessie, Griezmann.

Outs- Johnstone, Darmian, Young, Schweinstiger, Januzaj, Wilson, Rooney, Smalling.

Possible loans- Tuanzebe, Joel, Riley, CBJ, TFM, Harrop.

Doubt Mourinho will be looking to replace Valencia; signed a new deal, said he tried to sign him when he was at Madrid to convert him into a RB, and now says he's the best RB in the world.

Everything Utd wanted Ashley Young to be but isn't. By general consensus Utds POY and it's not even close.
 
Valencia has been incredible. He's also 32 I think. He won't be replaced. But he also can't go on forever
 
I think it's Darmian who is under threat from any full back joining the club

I can. We have no quality cover there and Valencia ain't no spring chicken anymore. In fact let alone quality cover we will have no cover if Darmian leaves.
 
Gutted for the lad! Was doing great for Grimsby and playing well and keeping clean sheets now he's gonna have to sit around being 3rd choice

Dean Henderson recall might be over possible injury to Joel Pereira. Kieran O'Hara was warm-up goalie vs Hull. #mufc
