They are not all world class but yes a top CM and CF could very well make us title contenders.

All of a sudden the envy of world football is back.

They're scared

A world class squad

We're challenging them now for the title with what we now have, let alone ... what we could have.

Not yet. 8 points off top requires a 3 result swing.

De Gea is not world class, not these days anyway. Not complete enough.

Varane. World class defensively but not always great on the ball. Loves a pass back to De Gea which is not always the best idea.

Martinez. Top signing but way too soon to say he is close to WC.

Shaw. Arguably but you still don't know if a drop off is coming.

Casemiro. Yes he's WC but not always the flawless monster that some make him out to be.

Bruno. Very good on his day, not world class though.

Rashford. Having a great season but still has quite a few days like yesterday where he has a moment during an performance.

Maybe I'm being harsh but it's silly to overrate our players too.

Way too harsh @Process

Your assessment of Shaw is circumstantial. I think Casemiro is WC. I don't think there's a lot of CDM I'd take over him.

You really are.

All of those listed above would get into most teams apart from maybe de gea... and even then he would get into quite a few

Fair. I was playing devils advocate slightly.

No there's very few DM's I'd swap him with and he's been a great signing.

His ball retention isn't great for a DM though that can't be denied but his pro's definitely outweigh any con's.

VC incoming...

Discount the first 2 games of the season and we are right up there. We are now competing with the best teams in Europe. Even just a top cf would give us a decent chance at the title

Did you start watching your team yesterday?

As the 7 mentioned are all full-internationals surely by definition they are world-class? For a start who is a better GK than De Gea at the moment?

I'm not going to get into an argument about the definitions of world class, or who and isn't.

The points remains, for all our moaning, we now have some top players and a very good squad.

With 2, maybe 3 quality additions, we are back in the race.

Fernandes wouldn't get into the City or Arsenal or Newcastle teams. He's awful. Spends more time whining and diving and brings the club into disrepute. No composure in front of goal either. Needs to be upgraded over the summer after a striker is sorted.

AWB is showing signs of improvement. His attributes yesterday were really useful against Allan Saint-Maximin. But ideally we do need a RB who can put in a few decent crosses.

Arsenal have managed 7 points in the last 5, with United grabbing 10. With there still being 14 games to play, i'd say we're definitely in with a shout.

Newcastle? They pick ASM, who doesn't even connect when he tries to kick the ball. The only reason he might not get in there team every week is that Eddie Howe prefers a player to be at least 8 feet tall and devoid of any flair. He does like to shiiiithouse though, which would be in his favour

He’s certainly not awful. He’s one of the best creators in world football. However he doesn’t always do the simple things well and misses far too many good chances.

Think Casemero is the best signing made by Utd for many years...May he retire soon

posted on 27/2/23

Bruno can be sloppy, but he still puts a great shift in and creates lots of chances.

posted on 27/2/23

As much as Casemiro rules the midfield, we cannot count on him playing 2 matches per week, and he will get some suspensions as well. We need another DCM to back him up and play alongside him in certain matches. That surely has to be a priority. With him we are 9/10 and without him 7/10 tops.
