No reason why United can't challenge for the title next season, there certainly is improvement there. Pogba situation needs to be sorted, either needs to commit or **** off. Not ideal if he does neither, hangs around while running his contract down causing issues.

So you think they will close a 40 point gap in 12 months?

Ok, I guess.

I think they will definitely close the gap, how much so is the big question. United's biggest issue in recent seasons has been beating the lower sides, our record against the top 6 is perfectly fine so with consistency it's not out of the question they'll be up for a title challenge.

Start of 2013/14 season Liverpool were talked about as a mid table team. Finished 28 points behind Utd previous season, turned that around to finishing 20 points ahead of Man United. That's a 48 point turnaround. So it's not impossible.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So you're also in the camp that United will challenge for the league next season. Bizarre.

Of course they can.

Uncovered a good left back in Williams. Got a brilliant right back.
Midfield 3 of McTominay, Pogba and Fernandes is great, and Fred has been good this season. Martial and Rashford is a good strike pair.

I've seen half a dozen remarks of yours in the last 24 hours, either shitting on Utd, being smug about Liverpool (rather unbecoming) or just being so out of touch on football.

I'm sorry covid has hit your industry Jod, I am, but imo your head is very far up the liverbird's arse.

Bit of extenuating circumstances there mate. SAF just left and was replaced by Moyes. It was always gonna go **** up. We also had a bit of a lightning in a bottle season. Of course it's not impossible, but very highly unlikely IMO that United will be in the title race next season.

Fair enough mate, I think the gap will be closed as well, I mean it cant get much wider than it is so it will have to come back a bit. But I really do think you are reaching with the title challenge claim.

To be fair, I shit on United any chance I get and I'm always up Liverpool's arse. So....

But yes Covid has been tough.

 

[Procrastinator35]

I never said skip next season. But I just don't think you will be in the title race. Still plenty to play for including making steps to eventually challenge for the league I guess. Of course I hope that never happens haha.

One serious injury to Van Dijk or Henderson & you blokes will quickly fall back to the pack….You went from Treble favourites to mere EPL Champs after one poor run of form in 3 weeks.....That's often all it takes….We've had Pogba out injured for yonks & if he remains injury free & finally pulls his head in, that's all it would require for us to be up Pool's clackers.

It's your first title in 30 years & it hasn't taken long for the famous Pool hubris to rise it's ugly head.

Teams and players improve, you have a short memory.

Liverpool are a 30 point better side than they were 2.5 years ago.

Liverpool can’t really possibly improve on what they’ve currently done, only maintain or regress, so the gap could shorten quite quickly.

Must be fake as the article says he will join his new teammates next month.

Chelsea to challenge for the title this season.

Leipzig must be the most laid back club in football history lol.

They seem to be a fairly comfy club. Rich as all hell so not really in any trouble financially.

Easily the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen on football twitter ever. Banter club

I mean those league finishes aren't exactly that far removed from Liverpool outside of the last two seasons. So going by your own logic United are primed to finally challenge for the title, 4,4,8,6,2,7,8,6,7.

Some of our signings over the last year have been some of our best, AWB is probably in the top 3 best RBs in the game and Maguire is a sold enough CB although we overpaid. DDG is completely fine and even if he wasn't we have quality in Henderson to come in, Fernandes has been amazing, our strike force is in great shape, really there isn't that many weaknesses in our starting 11, I don't see James as being a starter on the RW and that would be the only hole I see. Outside of the starting 11 we have issues in the depth with some players who should be nowhere near the team but we have some solid youth coming through so not overly concerned.

But as we all know United are willing to spend the cash and the club is clearly heading into the direction of smart buys over the flashy big name players. Quality youth.

We finished 7th the year before we started our winning run

Lol. Pogba fit away from being right up our clackers. Please....

Yeah but we have Klopp and United have Ole. It's a stark difference. We signed VVD and you guys signed Maguire. Like there are reasons why we improved. It didn't just magically happen.

both CBs from lower teir teams for large amounts

Klopp was known for for being one of the best managers in the world I think.
