    Still a neat trick, though.
    It'd save me a packet this month if I could do it.

    yeah but they've two extra months to account for there being chelsea and city to over come.

    you know sky have said we finish 5th already so there's no point thinking we will be in there.

    plus if anyhting having only one side to over haul is harder than having competitive teams taking points off each other. If 4 clubs are at the top playing each other and you win all your games its inevitable you will close in on them

    however we all know utd have more bumps in the road coming.

    United can only win the league if they win all their fixtures till May, beating Arsenal, beating Liverpool, beating Chelsea, beating Tottenham.

    Could do 'The Martian' and grow a grape vine in your own faeces and water it with filtered Urine. Then you'd be turning your **** and water into wine. <ok>

    I don't think any manager could turn them into the winning machine that they were in Ferguson's time. All their previous managers were very decent managers until they turn up at their place and suddenly they had the Midas touch in reverse.

    If Mourinho could turn them into his Chelsea Mk 1 they will be formidable and could turn things round but I think they will have this malaise lasting for a few years yet.

    Like I said in an earlier thread, they are more of a Cup team now.

    I just think it's unbalanced team... That's most of it. can gaal bought 40 left fulls.. Doesn't help next guy.

    Being serious.
    De Gea needs to wake up. he's better than he's acting. looks to be resting on laurels
    Valencia v milner. .. no worse there.
    Bailly looks quality.
    Need a cb
    Shaw looks under threat from mourinho who doesn't like him.
    Cm problems. Pogba must play, herrera and Pogba looks unbalanced but best two players individually
    Mkhitaryan needs a position.
    No width bar lingard
    Lots of strikers... too many.

    They need 4/5 players really

    I'd argue that absolutely fabulous players wouldn't be sat in 6th place in the table.

    degea (GK)
    mata (no 10) always fabulous but he's not quick
    Mkhitryan (no 10) absolutely stonking player hasn't got going yet
    Ibrahimoivc. (no9) 7 goals in 12 games. like... he is slow but you can't deny his ability to score
    Martial. really fast nice player but not a winger a no 9
    rashford. very nice young player, looks very good (no 9)
    Bailly (CB) really good player IMO really suits prem but injured


    their problem is rooney..... pogba is a vanity buy and undisciplined.

    Other players like herrera, shaw, smalling are all very good players

    Whats their best team? I dunno....

    Degea
    Valencia Bailly Smalling shaw
    Mkhitaryan Pogba Herrera (this doesn't see right to me)
    Lingard Ibrahimiovic Martial

    or is it 4231

    Nice WUM attempt but I don't think any Mancs are going to bite the hope bait you're dangling

    The #reality is top four is effectively out of Man Utd's hands and hoping teams mess up is their only chance

    Even if one of the top four does crumble they still have to outperform Spurs, Everton, and Watford to take advantage

    By picking first team players, he'd be ****ting all over the second string players confidence. Hardly good for development.

    Wanting to win it and picking a second string aren't necessarily a either or situation either.

    In the latter stages against say, a Utd team who really want to win, I'd say that's exactly what it is.
    It's not ****ting over anyone, don't be daft. They're all part of a group of players who stand or fall together. If they haven't got that team spirit, and want the club's success over personal glory, then they shouldn't be there. Anyone who has contributed to the run has played their part, and they'll be made aware of that.
