Why are you so unstable? After the game you acknowledged that we are now contenders for the title and not up to 24hrs after you are supporting a post that says we are asking for too much by saying we can win this season seeing how things have panned out thus far...Pick a struggle bro...
Don't misunderstand me

I want a title race, heck it will be interesting and nervy
But ole won't be judged on winning the title THIS SEASON but on how the team has DEVELOPED.

I have said it that we aren't title contenders with our defence and I stand by that.

But if we get a shot, why not ?

But I am not all hyped up about it.

Is Aston Villa in the title race as well?

I am not a fan of Aston villa. I am a man utd fan and they are my main concern atm.

We have performed brilliantly lately. We are second on the log with a game in hand. Why can't we believe we have all it takes to challenge for the title.

Even Ole and the players can see the table and the situation at other clubs (Man city and Liverpool), they are not stupid; they can see the opportunity we have this year.


This team is better than Liecester city 2015/2016, better than Spurs title challengers, better than Brendan Rodgers Liverpool team that challenge for the title that year, ........so I don't get the excuse everytime.

All we need is for OLE to make the right call 8 out of 10 and the players to give their 100% in games.

Ole has been making the right decison for a couple of months now. His team selection has been better and subs have improved. It's only once in a while he dey fúck up. Like against PSG and Leipzig and he was rightly criticised.

But against Sevilla when he played our strongest and we still lost, una blame am because Rashford and Martial missed open net. Same against Palace.

What game in hand? We have played the same number of games as Liverpool right at this moment. If United are title contenders so are Aston Villa going by the league table. Right at this moment we are punching way above our weights.

The Carabao cup performance against Everton is the first time I felt confident about a match in years. It gave a vibe of SAF’s team. They’ll create so many chances in the first 10-20 mins the opponent will be happy not to have conceded.

Yesterday’s match too showed some improvement in mentality of the team. We switched up gears from the 75th min or so even though the players were tired.

Rashford was gassed out by then and was barely marking. But Bruno knew he’d make something if he could just get the ball to him.

We kept pushing and then won it in the final moments. That’s the stuff champions are made of. Remember Liverpool’s last minute win vs Tottenham weeks ago? That’s the ish we’re talking about.
Exactly. Mentality is the only thing we can say has changed between last season, even the beginning of this season and now.
We would have drawn Wolves again at OT like last season.
But we have somehow managed to start converting all those annoying draws we had last season to wins this time.

LooL. So Gomez and Matip won the league for Liverpool last season? VVD, yes. Who else? All their important players have returned from injury, including TAA and Robertson. Firminho seems to be finding his feet also.

City still has KdB and Mahrez and Sterling. Aguero is the only one missing. And he had 16 goals last season due to injuries. Not surprised that he’s injured again this season.

Those are the only two teams worthy to be considered for the league at this moment. (Mourinho will likely implode wirh his Spurs team. Kane is looking jaded already and they look bereft of ideas)

And they’re not very weak as you imagined. They’re finding things difficult, yes, but claiming that injury is affecting them significantly is very debatable.

Recheck your reality bros.
Liverpool are terribly lacking in the center of defense with VVD, Gomez and recently Matip out injured...

Carragher was in the news the other day urging Klopp to sign an experienced CB lest their season crumbles. You can't dismiss the absence of Gomez and Matip as nothing serious.

About City, it's common knowledge that Aguero is a big miss as Jesus is simply not good enough to fill those big boots. In defense and midfield, you might want to make light work of it but Rodri and Stones are simply not in the league of Fernandinho and Laporte...Pep was wise to play Fernandinho against us if not Bruno would've had a filled day because Rodri is a passenger who does well when City are controlling the midfield but defensively, he is shit...

This unexplainable urgency to win big is the reason we’ve fallen so deep since SAF left. The want for instant success is the reason Mourinho was appointed and look at where it brought us. If you dont have a good squad, if you haven’t built a team of challengers, changing managers anyhow is just time wasting. You can buy the new manager 13 players and things still won’t work. Look at Conte and Inter.

You people want a team that has been collecting an average of 66 points per season to suddenly become challengers.

The problem is that peeps don’t look at where we’ve been and compare it with where we are.

FYI, Man Utd hasn’t been a “big” team for the last half decade. We’ve only played UCL football 2-3 times and have been struggling locally. So all these talks about “we’re big, we should be challenging “, I don’t know where you guys get it from.

The first step is to move in the right direction - and that’s claiming 80 points and above this season. It’s going to be an upgrade from last season. That’s the barest minimum , if we claim a title in the process, good. But title should not be the main main.

From there we can move on, upgrade and then become contenders every season.

At the beginning of the season the expectation was a top 4 finish given how the TW went but 2 months later you guys are demanding a title. Cool down nao.

And we are telling you that 80 points +/- 5 can win the league this season so why not try it out? If Acmilan and Sporting CP are currently challenging their league titles why not united?. These teams barely played UCL in the past 5 years

I dont think you are in the board meeting where it was discussed that tge expectations is top 4. Leicester's expectations weren't league title when they won it. Liverpool finished 4th more than 20 points of man city in 2018 and lost the next seasons title by a point, before that they last played champions league Once in 9 years. Chelsea finished 10th in 2016 and won it the next.
Baba stop lowering expectations, if you dont want a title race leave us alone to chase it, if we fail we fail.

We have performed brilliantly lately.

The only convincing win was against Leeds in the league.


Comeback against Southampton being 2goals down, escaped sheffield with a win, late deflection against wolves,Draw leicester, even west Ham was a comeback as well. We are winning games, performing brilliantly will be stretching it.

At the start of the season, Liverpool and Citg were outright favorites but as the season has progressed, Liverpool and City have been hit by injuries to their best important players resulting in their inconsistent performances thus far. Do you expect us to see out rivals faltering yet stick to a top 4 finish when the possibility of winning the league is there? It's this review of the season that is making us believe we stand a chance if we maintain same level of consistency...

Talking about being a big team, in the period under consideration, we have won one FA Cup, UEL, Carling Cup and Community Shield and reached the final of the FA Cup as well as semi finals of major cup competition...The only thing missing is the EPL title and UCL...Is this Manchester United standard? Hell no but we've been thereabout...Do we have the quality to nount a serious challenge? I say YES in the affirmative...We have the right mix of experience and youth to blend...When you look at the investment in the squad and the quality of players we have, it'd be shocking if we don't see ourselves as strong contenders...

If we are not contenders now, is it next season when Liverpool are back to full fitness and City with a refreshed team that we will be contenders?

Baba forget all these people. They dont know history. We are not asking to win the title, we are asking for a challenge. Go to Liverpool fan pages and see the way they are scared whenever we win any match, some cheeky ones keep talking down our title chances, but deep down they are scared to death.

Since January this year we have gathered more points than any team in the EPL, that a 30+ match stretch, so how is it not a title winning form?
Spurs never prepared for a title challenge in 2016 and 2017 but they gave it go when they saw the opening, so why are all these people trying to shout us down for daring to dream.

Same players you and your gang castigate and ridicule from time to time

Maguire..... useless captain, waste of money
De Gea.....Past his best. Should be dropped
Lindelof........Error prone defender
AWB....... Cannot attack, just a tackle expert
Shaw......lazy player and have no drive according to one doc here

Fred....... limited player. Cannot pass or do anything apart from run.
Mctominay.......same as fred
Pogba...... useless player,lazy and should be sold

Martial.....should be dropped as well. He is not good despite being our best attacker.
Rashford..... misses anyhow,he should stop feeding the kids and he is inconsistent.

Now all of a sudden we have the squad. Werey dey disguise.

When Chelsea won the league with Conte, they weren't favourites, they just kicked on as the season progressed after a win against Arsenal or is it Liverpool and from there, they treated every match like a final...If only our players will have the belive that we can and take every game by the scruff of the neck, we will win the league...

You need to see Bruno's reaction to Rashford's goal yesterday and right there you'd see a man who believes impossible is nothing...

Ask them why Sporting CP and Ac Milan are challenging for title. Even Rangers od Scotland. Teams that were far far behind previous seasons

I saw a start that says since Bruno joined, only Liverpool have amassed more points than us with 60pts to our 59pts but some how, Manchester United fans think we are not ready...

All with his own opinions.
But as for me, the table clearly shows we are in a title race. But knowing this team, the mentality going forward is what will determine if we are worth being called title contenders.
This is not the first time we are showing title winning form. The only difference this time is Liverpool have not gone unbeaten and they aren't 22 points ahead of us like they were at this stage last season. Luckily, no team is having a spectacular season so we have managed to sneak into the top 2.

I hope we win the league but i no wan too raise my hopes till we see how things are going after 20-25 games.
