Lest we forget, they are and always will be scum.

Good thing is after spending all that money on Lukaku, Rashford is only going to get sub appearances. He's a bigger threat imo. When he came on he was beating players with his pace. Mata is creative but didn't start as they had the NBA all stars in midfield kicking the crap out of Real. They will score a lot from corners and set pieces but against technical sides they will be chasing shadows and just booting them up in the air. Nailed on team for the most yellow cards.

de gea sadly is the best keeper in the world.

No he isn't at all.

Few injuries and they'll struggle they simply don't have enough goals in them imo.

De Gea is not the best in the world that would be Manuel Neuer.

I agree they'll be up there tho.

De Gea is comfortably the best IMO. Other than that it's a dross and uninspiring squad, It's devoid of any real quality and I think they'll be in a battle for fourth this season.

Like it or not they are our biggest threat next year. They have a strong spine and de gea sadly is the best keeper in the world. They are weak squad wise but their first 11 is decent and they still get more decisions than most. Liverpool are short in too many areas to be contenders, arsenal are arsenal and Chelsea seem to be dealing with a bit of unrest in the team. I fucking hate Utd and their fans but they will be up there next year.

The only thing they're threatening is the value of the next TV deal, with their mind-numbing hoofball.

They should be nailed on, but I think they will escape the cards that we pick up regularly, and in their case they would be more warranted.

I think we know what kind of season MANUre and The PEG will plan - against footballing sides they will try to strangle the game, throw themselves around in the opposition penalty area, thump the ball high into said area for their Brobdinagians to get a forehead on, and the less capable and any Lilliputians will be shouldered off the pitch with the connivance of such bottlers as Oliver, Corporal It Was a Dive Sr Aguero You're Booked Jones!

So, yet again another mediocre performance from Pogba, after a season of 5 goals and 4 assists, matched and exceeded
by some stretch by many players in the PL, just when is this bloke going to start producing? He missed another sitter,
got turned inside out, and was generally ineffective, any other team paying what the Rags paid for him would be getting
crucified in the media.

He is great at handing off opponents and getting away with it.

I've come to the conclusion that he just can't score goals, Mourinho must know this too, and is trying to
turn him into some powerhouse defensive mid, which is also looking like it might be hard work.
