Who are the 5th and 6th side?

Lol at this deluded United fan laughing at the thought of us challenging for the title even though we finished 7 points off top last season, 16+ points clear of United who finished 7th we had terrible injuries. We've also strengthened so no reason why we can't put up a better challenge this season. We still need another centre back or 2 and holding midfielder though.

Arsenal_49 in SAF last season in charge we finished 16 points ahead of Arsenal and 19 clear the previous season.

BTW Arsenal only 15 points above Man utd lol, the closest finish between Man utd and Liverpool since 2010-11 season. Then again last season was the closest finish between man utd and liverpool since the 08-09 season. SAF was a genius in that respect.

That was with Fergie though things are a lot different now. Your squad still looks very weak and unless you bring a few top players in I think you'll finish between 5th-7th

I mean closest finish between arsenal and man utd since 2010-11 season

Van Gaal has taken us up another level and we cleared a lot of the aging players to. Under Moyes in preseason we were woeful and won 2 out of 7 games against pub standard teams and what was worse was we were trying but moyes tactics held us back. Under Van Gaal we seem to score when we want type mentality, hernandez could have had 4 goals in his 20 minute cameo against Real Madrid. Herrera is tearing teams apart. Young looks like he has learnt how to play football. Wellbeck and rooney have learnt how to shoot in the corners in the goal.

This is the strongest midfield and attack we had since 07-08 season. Defence is unknown quantity. Blackett will step up.

.......................De Gea
Valencia/Rafael.Smalling/Jones.Evans/blackett..Shaw
.........................Carrick/Cleverley..................
.......... Herrera......Mata/Rooney...........
Nani/Young?.....................................Januzaj
.....................Hernandez/RVP

Fletcher looks like he might be back again to and he made a lot of clever passes.

terrible team
