Premier league is Number one league in the world, it's very competitive and tensive, every Match is play as final, because any point drop will cost the team.
Premier league is the most watch league in the world, once you play in the premier league, the world will notice you, because of the competition and pattern of play.
Ten Hag knows how competitive the league is because he came, and in his first season, he did well and he will do better next season, with the players he has brought in the squad, he's target should be the title
In fact, it’s not entirely clear why United was successful (relatively, since before the purchase of Casemiro things were going terribly) last season - maybe it was a certain merit of Liverpool and Chelsea which flew out of the top and vacated a place there. In the upcoming season they will return to business and I think that even a place in the top 4 is not guaranteed to anyone. As for the title, as long as there is a City, there is no point in talking about it.
Because as long as City is there it's hard to talk about which one is the best, even though I saw last season Manchester United looked better than the previous season and every season there is always an increase so that's what might be seen that there were good changes as long as Manchester United was held by Ten Hag , but he has time to be able to make Manchester United get the title in the season, of course, it needs the right players to fill the squad team.
City will always be above them if they keep discussing it because of course to balance City, Manchester United need some good new players to fill their squad team so they can compete with City and also moreover they qualify for the UCL which will obviously get new challenges again apart from the EPL . still want to see how they balance City next season.
