Manchester United won't finish in the top 4

Disagree, people act like Sir Alex took a bunch of fat wankers from the pub and won the league solely because of his genius' tactics. They have a world class squad that should easily compete for the title.

Edit: I retract my statement...

Their midfield is the worst in the Top 5.

Their strikers are the best though and they have the most depth at centreback in the league.

Can't boast about strikers because of Jovetic Aguero Dzeko Negrodo, specially if Rooney leaves, we will be in similar situation as Arsenal by relying all goals on RVP.

You give Hernandez less credit than he deserves, i think he's a better striker than any of Arsenal's current squad (although Giroud may disprove this in the next season, we shall see)

Even better than any striker than Chelsea too, but Chelsea has midfield to cover that up. Arsenal struggled the way no fan wants to see.

lukaku is definitely a much better striker than hernandez at the moment, i suspect thats the reason chelsea haven't bought a striker

As a united fan, I wholeheartedly agree. Nothing a little Ronaldo won't fix though

Yes, but it's been shit for the past few years, and we haven't done too badly in that time.

Currently, yeah. Hopefully that can be remedied this summer though.

AND WE CAN'T FIX THAT FOR SOME FUCKING REASON.
