Im off the opinion they are bang in the race. How can they not be with Herrera, Mata, RVP, Di Maria, Falcao and Rooney. Thats an abundance of talent. I do appreciate that the defence is not top 4 material, but even so the likes of Jones, Evans, Smalling, Rapheal, Shaw and Rojo is better than people are giving credit for and De Gea is a top class goalkeeper. Tehn if Blind adapts, which I think he may be a bit too one paced to do, buit if he does I certainly think they could be up there.

Spend on one or two positions in January if they are in contention and I would say they could challenge. Its away games where they come under pressure that will do for them I think. Top for is likely rather than a possibility for me. The scousers benefitted hugely from having no european competition last year and you will see they wont go as close this year. This year the rags will benefit. And then whoever finishes outside the top 4 next year such as Arsenal or Liverpool again may well have another good tilt at it.

This is where the top managers come to the fore. The one who can go far in the champs league, maybe even win as well as winning their league are gold dust and i think another year or two of Pelligrini will bring this level of sucess

Sorry mate but you're talking bollocks!
Before DiMaria and Falcao arrived nobody was batting an eye lid over the rags. I can't see why a winger and an ageing injury prone albeit top striker will suddenly put them in the top four or contention for the title. Wait till they play a decent team then we'll see what's what.

Considering Liverpool almost won the title last season I see no reason why United who have a much stronger squad than them cant challenge.

And Di Maria and Falcao will obviously make a huge difference as they are truly world class players.
