top 3 is a certainty, and if we're not in contention for the title come CL knock out stages, expect to see us do really well. When was the last time we didn't have the league to worry about during our CL run?

Don't know why I wrote fourth. Either meant top 4 or third.

 

[rooboy_07]

we'll make a couple of signings. frustrating at how long it is taking but it is what it is

 

[Macca19]

Up until which point?

I still think we'll finish fourth but I don't see a decent CL run or a top 2 finish in the league with the team we have.

People have said this every year for the last 6-7 years and it hasn't happened yet. We'll finished top 2.

My thoughts exactly, we always know how to win.

 

[moomba]

How much of that is down to Fergie though.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

i think we'll be fine for the next couple of seasons when SAF is still around the club but idk afterwards

I guess we will soon find out.

If we don't improve our team we won't finish top 2. Chelsea and City have better squads than us.

As they did last year, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before....

Put it this way if we lose Rooney we are in a bad position. If he stays and isn't 100% committed again it's a bad situation.
That needs to be sorted out before the season starts.

We desperately need a midfielder. If it's Fella then so be it.

I'm slightly concerned that the club has invested far too much time into Fabregas and a Ronaldo return for no reward.

With Real pretty much pulling out of the Bale race due to the money wanted Ronaldo becomes a no chance. As much as it was a pipe dream anyway.

I've supported this team for over 20years and have never been worried or concerned for an upcoming season regardless of expert opinions but with the change of the guard the lack of any actual talent coming in is worrying so far.

 

[Hawthorn United]

I reckon Fergie and his aura would've lifted our performance. Take that away and we'll be 10 points or so worse off. With very little squad changes, and our senior players getting a year older, we're going to slip.

Can't see us winning title, 2-3 likely finish. A lot will depend how Pelligrini does with City with Chelsea favourites in my eyes.

Very concerned we haven't signed or sold anyone to improve our squad.

Gee wiz, all this negativity and writting us off and its 9th of August.

Sell your shares!!

Nothing wrong with being realistic.

A lot can change from here until the end of the window.

Just being realistic with a pinch of pessimistic.

Our pre-season form hasn't been great either.

another 3-1 loss in the testimonial. We've got the community shield against Wigan tomorrow night, if we go down in that I'll start to worry.

 

[SupportMe]

Not too worried about a testimonial.

Expect us to be an unattractive side this year though.

Yeah me either, but paired with our preseason results.

I don't mind winning scrappy, the result is all that's important.

 

[A Bit High]

There will be a transitional period...If anyone expects us to win early games considering our draw then you might be disappointed.

Yes its concerning that we have not bought in a big name as yet but United have never rushed these things and there is still a week to go so we should be patient.

There are enough opposition supporters fuelling the fire, lets not add to it by showing weakness on other forums about a club that has given us so much.

We All Follow United!

Rooney has declared himself available for England on wednesday but isn't available for the charity shield with a shoulder "injury". Interesting.

Aslong as RVP stays fit we'll challenge for the title.
