Will we finish in the top 4 this season?

"If they finish convincingly higher than they did last season then I think that's enough to say they're a better team. "

a lot of people think we would have finished convincingly higher if Coutinho and Sturridge were signed in summer rather than xmas.

I expected us to finish convincingly higher even if we signed no one.

We still have a depth problem - the side is loaded with players who look extremely promising in a couple of years. Any significant injuries and we've got a here and now problem.

The only way we're going to know the answer is at the end of the season. If their results echo their performances and pull them down the season to finish near to where they were last season then I guess no improvement after all.

Pull them down the table even.

Fans like the OP make us look like fickle glory hunting prats

We battered Swansea away
We lost at Liverpool by the odd goal and played ok
Played ok v Chelsea and drew
Beat Palace
Knocked our firerce rivals out of a cup
Beat Leverkuson well

But

We got hammered by City at their ground. Under Fergie, we were battered 6-1 at our ground. That result will make no difference to our season except 3 points

All of this negativety is based on the fact we lost our first game of what we thought would be a winnable run

Our two biggest rivals are only just ahead of us with their new managers and they both spent a furtune in the Summer.

FFS get a grip people.

The OP is still a prat

Macca embarrassed himself here, should apologise to the OP.

you lot are so reactionary. We're 6 games in, Man Utd's top 4 status is not in threat."
