"Being the best team" is all well and good until you remeber that Aston Villa has underlying stats that should put them firmly lower table, are performing really poor against basically all opposition they come up against but have been very lucky result wise.
Putting them under pressure puts United basically on the same level as West Ham.

If I were a United fan I'd worry a lot more about them dropping points at home to Everton who gets undone by every good team they meet, West Ham who can't buy a win against anyone and most recently Bournemouth who has stopped winning games at all, and seems to have gone a bit stale under Iraola. Yet they came to Old Trafford scored 4 in an even game and probably were the team closest to taking all 3 points. A week later they draw at home against canon fodder Burnley.

United is as midtable thrash as you can possibly be
 
Points wise yeah. But they were the better side v a very good Villa today. They’re definitely miles better than recent years.

They have also put in some awful performances recently. They were ok tonight but don’t be surprised if they’re utter shite against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
 
They are on an upward trend imo. Don't think they win a title under Amorim but they can finish top 4-6 this season and go deep in the cups again from next season. Think once Amorim has another summer under his belt they could be regular top 4-6 finishers once more, which isn't exactly what they want but it's on the way to their ideal destination.

Since those comments Ratcliffe made about giving Amorim three years no matter how much people might want him sacked, in all competitions they've P11 W5 D4 L2. In that time they've gone away to Liverpool (W), Spurs (D), Palace (W), and Villa (L). Things could be improved but Amorim has definitely stopped the rot and steadied the ship for the time being.

De Ligt Maguire Shaw
Diallo [new CM] Fernandes Dalot
Cunha Mbeumo Mount

There is something in that system. Casemiro and Ugarte are nowhere near mobile enough to do the job Amorim wants, which is why they're still a work in progress, and Mount can't really be trusted to stay fit for more than 2-3 months at a time. But they are building a decent squad with decent options from the bench. No threat to us yet, but it's improving.
 
I thought he wouldn't have a voice left today after all his cheerleading last night for the dippers.
He obviously been offered some hefty bonuses this season to big the rags and dippers up at every opportunity.
Just think Neville 13 long years ago since you last finished above lickle old City.
Oh i feel your pain

To be fair, they’ve progressed from being shite everywhere and not giving a shit to being able to control the middle third of the pitch.

They’re just totally shit in both boxes, which means their level of control looks impressive, but they still end up losing.
