I suspect the gap will eclipse 19 pts of last season and my feelings wouldn't have changed much about their status - they may have finished 2nd last season but they were far from the 2nd best in the league, same will apply this season as they are comfortably behind the top 5 sides in the Premiership. And the group that United currently sits among - Watford, Everton, Leicester, Wolves etc. are really where they are in terms of quality so it'll be interesting to see where they finish in the end
