United finished last season very strong, being a third place when nobody expected them to be even be in the top six, is a huge achievement and I think it was definitely something that shocked even themselves. But if we look at it in a way that looks quite decent, then we should be considering how this could be very good to handle it, and we could make a big profit off it as well.

I think we should be considering how this could be very well thing where it is going to be something that would be very easy to handle, I think that part is the one that we should care about. I do get it, not simple for United to win the league title, and yes they probably won't. But the key is, they are more likely this season than last season, even going from 1% chance to 2% means you are more likely, but I think it's even more than that.

[Oluwa-btc]

No I'm not saying such thing. With these signings they can fight for top 4. I was only saying that it is really difficult for them to convince bigger names than these to sign for them. Because of having really poor years recently... 

Even Heaven knows they're doing going to be amongst the next four clubs qualifying for the Champions League competition. De Zebri us a worthy manager and despite the fact that he has never won anything big elsewhere during his managerial career, I'm quite positive he'll do that with Tottenham Hotspur.
In other to avoid trauma from what they faced next season, they have spent well with no signs of quiting and stopping.

Manchester United looked so good this season that people are actually having some hopes about their future. I am not saying they are going to win, most likely result will be that they are going to lose. But the reality is that we should be considering them as something that will probably not going to end up great for them.

We should not expect them to be third yet again, sure that happened once but they are not that much great just yet and we should not be considering a top four is possible again. If they do, that's great, but if they can't, that's not shocking neither. Everyone increased their expectations about United way too much and I do not think that we are going to end up seeing something that becomes that much more of an issue.

With Manchester united’s performance last season i can boldly say there victory next season is sure. They managed to come out in the top four last season and would have stepped above that if not for minor mistake they had in there weak midfield distribution in critical moments which am sure they are working towards closing that gap before the start of next campaign.
Among all i can say it will be very difficult for Manchester United to go home without securing winning in any major trophy next season because the level of transformation the team have attained now is way much greater than expected and after there proposed reinforcement plans I don't think there will be any team there to stop them from getting to the top next season.

With the coming of Michael Carrick as Head coach of Manchester United the tides changed for good as the climb to finish the season on a third place which was not quite expected by some times into the season. I expect that United should continue in the form which they used in finishing the season going into the up coming season next month.


But the problem that United has heard when it comes to their coaches is that almost all of them which was appointed on an interim basis performed very well. But when once they are made permanent managers that is when there true colour shows up, struggling to even finish the season on a champions League spot.

[GiftedMAN]

It is no exaggeration to say that Man Utd will be a serious contender, because what Man Utd has shown under Carrick command last season was truly extraordinary, in a short time Carrick changed this team to be much better, besides that we know that other competing teams change their coaches which of course requires adaptation to their respective squads, so I am sure that Man Utd can be one of the strong contenders for the title and the possible competition is with Arsenal.

You are right, Manchester United are now in a good form and they are going to be a challenge to clubs like Manchester city and arsenal. I'm very sure that they are going to be strong contenders, they might not win the league title but they are definitely going to put in their best to finish the season at the third position.

who says Manchester United can not win the league if they continue their good performance like that of last season, the league will be open to all the teams and if you must know Michael Carrick was outstanding right from when he took over as the manager of they perform well like last season then expect them to be a very strong contender. If you are including Manchester City and Arsenal as the favourite for the league title next season then Manchester United should be included.

Nobody says they cannot win it, but the possibility that they win it is very small because I don't see how they would beat all the other top teams in a year packed with matches. Liverpool will ramp up their game again, Arsenal will be there again, Manchester City won't be eager to go without a title for another year, where is Manchester United? They have failed for so many years now and I don't think that they will and can fundamentally change everything within no time. They need higher quality in their squad, they need new management in my opinion.

As of now Manchester United is a middle league club. It is not much more than that.

I can’t wait to see how this season of premier league because every team seems prepared this time around. Manchester United with Carrick looks like a well prepared squad. Before Carrick came, the club almost looked in shambles the players working in disarray, the club got players but the club lost the team work which is supposed to exist between them. This is the reason why the management of the team should give the manager a good support system which allows the manager to operate in full power and control.

Honestly Manchester United ending last season in 3rd position was a suprise to me, I never believed they going to end the season in that position. Before Amorim left Manchester United, they were at the middle of the table, and nobody believed Manchester United will be playing at the champions league, but when Carrick joined Manchester United, everything changed in the team, and their was improvement in Manchester United performance. Manchester United are going to be playing in the champions league by next season, Carrick is really having lots of work to do.

I get your point, considering how they finished last in a very good foam we all expect them to do well next season, at least they should be in title conversations, even if they don’t win it. Well it true but personally I don’t see Manchester United making that moves. I’m yet to be impressed by their market moves, we saw them losing Tonali and Fernandez to Tottenham.

A club that want to challenge needs to show it from the player they sign. Well there is still plenty of time but they really need to enforce their squad if they really want to challenge for the premier league next season.

Finishing I'm top 4 is not a big achievement for Tottenham Huspor considering how well this club performed in the last season although their still lack the capacity to top the league anytime soon, but repeating the record over and over again is not something special so seeing them in the top 4 is same as top 10 for me, the only welcome achievement for them should be making it to the finals.

Well unfortunately that has always been how people feel like before the starting of every season the hype for transferred players new coaches and with what so ever. But the truth remains that even a club that performed well or ended your last season still has a probability of not performing well in the next season, people are hyping Manchester United but nobody really know how they will perform this season they'll play more matches more travels more, so on and so forth, for me personally I don't expect much I just adapt with what I see

Other teams wont be bad as they were last season. Manchester United do not have the right team that can win the league ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City. I'm yet to see that Manchester United team that will win the league. Casemiro is out of the club. Let me see the player that will convert the chances Bruno Fernades will create when season starts.

Let's watch and see if a team that was the best when Michael Carrick took over won't win the league if they continue from where they stopped last season. The Manchester United squad you just underrated now defeated Manchester City and Arsenal last season when they were at their best coming to next season when the boys are ready you think they can't win the league?  Let's watch you would be here to see what's goin to happen unless Carrick decides to change his pattern.

Man U have a big to chance of winning the title this season, in the previous one, had the progress Carrick brought in began earlier in the start of the season, they'd be the contenders to win the race. Despite the multiple losses compounded by Amorim before he got replaced by Carrick, the red devils still finished 3rd position. The only challenge this season for Man u would be playing the champions league alongside domestic games, other than that Carrick has a record that would take Man u to a top heights of the premier league title.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well back to reality, there is so much expectation on Carrick Manchester United, considering how he finished last season he really need to do well. Some people are even saying Manchester United are in the race for next season premier league. I hope he can deliver this time around.

Don't doubt it, right now MU is going to do things very well and it will be the start of a Premier League season on another level. I don't have much faith in City; I think Arsenal can have a great Premier League season, but if you ask me, the team I see as super strong is MU. I hope I'm not wrong, but based on what I've seen in the World Cup performance of some players, I expect them to be very strong.

You are sounding like a typical Manchester United fans that believe that they are the best team from the start of the league, until reality hits hard. It surprises me that you are thinking that Manchester United will be super strong next season, when you know that arsenal will be the clear favourite for the title next season since pep guardiola is no longer in the league with Manchester City, and as a matter of fact, I believe that this Manchester City team you are ruling out might be the only serious title contender against arsenal because Enzo maresca has proven at Chelsea that he is a top manager that can take this Manchester City team forward.

[Sarah Azhari]

Elliot Anderson is a really good start for Manchester City for their transfer campaign this summer. I'm wondering how many more is there to come...

Elliot Anderson is a great signing for Manchester City. Elliot is still young and has plenty of time to develop. Anderson was brought in to strengthen Manchester City’s midfield, which has looked weak over the past two seasons due to Rodri’s decline in form. Manchester City is in the process of rejuvenating its squad and appears set to sign several more players, particularly in midfield and on defense.

This is because you saw Manchester United's extraordinary performance under Michael Carrick, even though he was only a substitute coach at the time. His arrival transformed the players' play, causing even big teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea to fall victim to defeats inflicted by the Manchester United players, using the scheme implemented by the former Manchester United midfielder during the time of Paul Scholes and Giggs.

The same thing applies if you ask me, because I'm very confident that they will be a title favorite next season, especially since Michael Carrick will remain their head coach next season, having agreed on a clear deal with the Englishman. However, even so, the natural competition is tougher in the front music because every team has now started to plan to have a squad that can compete with other teams next season so now for Chelsea with the arrival of Xabi Alonso who will be their newest coach, of course the hope of Chelsea supporters under Xabi is that their team's performance can be better than last season because last season they made a mistake in appointing a coach which ended in their performance not being so impressive and they failed to get a quota to be able to compete in the UCL next season.

Rodri is even likely to leave Manchester City this summer. His name has been called with Real Madrid so many times. I agree that he wasn't the same Rodri in the last season due to injuries... 

Elliot Anderson is like a great investment for their future. He is playing at the national team right now as well. A really smart move by Enzo Maresca that is! I'm looking forward to watch this team in his control after the legend Guardiola has left.
