They are years away ..........teams that concede loads of chances and have to spawn late wins tend not to be title challengers ........ they are into a purple patch of playing teams that wont punish them l,the media in this country will make out they are the real deal.If I take my blue tinted spectacles off for a moment - I fear united have started the long climb back. The two forwards Garnacho and Hoijlund are playing well together and for each other (something that they seemed to have lacked for a while). Shaw is always solid (in two ways) at left back, Wan-Bissaka at right back is very hard to beat, although he's lacking going forward and Maguire has found a little form. They're short of creativity in midfield, certainly in the big games as Fernandez goes missing. Rashford is a problem for them, not a team player, plays in an unknown position and certainly not as good as he/they think he is.
With the addition of a good creative midfielder they could possibly finish in the top two or three next season.
Right, let's begin the pile on.
In fact would it be a bad thing if they finish top 4 ??? The whole club would get complacent thinking they dont need much work doing when in all honesty its a mess
