Yeah, it wouldn't be fair to expect Manchester United to achieve a big thing in this season of the Premier League. They should be grateful even if they finish at the third place. Because their performance level is still not very satisfying. Actually they seem to be showing a better performance these days but we will see if it will be continual or transient. If they make it continual, then they can at least qualify for the Champions League. Otherwise, the players also wouldn't be happy about that situation.
