United 2016/17

Still nothing on the BBC Sport website about....

Manchester United 1 - 4 Borussia Dortmund

Odd because there is/was a report about our defeat to the hands of Bayern.

And that video coverage, ticker news and a narrative of it being a new dawn with the worlds best manager for their first preseason game. Nowt now though.

gen question mate. Where do you think you will end up in the league this season, and why?

First. 5 reasons:

1. Best manager in the world who knows the league.
2. Ibrahimovic.
3. The best left back in world football - Shaw.
4. A revitalised Rooney under Mourinho.
5. Referees.

BBC Sport and the Trafford Ministry of Truth are both masters of the palimpsest.

You can't play Pep's football without world class CM. That's City's weakness, and I fully expect them to struggle to score goals/create too many chances, especially early in the season.

I struggle to grasp why you would fully expect City to struggle to score goals/create chances when players like Aguero, De Bruyne and Silva are in the side - with links to add further players (that also ignores other talents like Iheanacho and Sterling). Nothing in the side under Pellegrini has ever suggested that goals are hard to come by, and now there's a manager who clearly works around his players strengths more, and obviously has more tactical ability. I agree the midfield isn't exceptional, but I'd struggle to name one world class CM in this league, so to argue you need one to score goals/create chances in this league seems bizarre.

Just to back it up - City finished top scorers last season, top scorers the season before that, and top scorers the season before that.
