5th probably get a team champs league next season.
Arsenal should be ok then :)
Utd are small potatoes now. Mid table side, I don’t see them breaking into the top 4 anytime soon.
the only time they’ve done ok in recent times is when other clubs seem to be in transition. But right now ourselves and liverpool seem pretty settled and have top managers. United aren’t even in the same universe anymore, a non factor the elite level.
I think Conte will do a good job with Spurs and establish them as a top 4 side, if he’s backed.
The Chelsea ownership saga might affect them but as it stands, they have a better squad and better manager than Man Utd and I can’t see their manager not getting them top 4
Arsenal are building a decent enough young side, a few decent additions to that and they’re in a much healthier state than Man Utd
Then Newcastle’s money might make them a factor. I don’t see them getting near us anytime soon but certainly around the Europa league spots in the next season or so might be realistic.
So, considering all the deadwood at United, and the fact they keep trying manager after manager, I’d say there’s at least potentially 6 clubs in a much healthier position
