Manchester United also need to improve before other teams at the top of the table set a big gap between them.
Manchester United have zero chaces of winning the EPL imo, at least not with the group of players they have, they lack that winning mentality and they don't even have the quality to be champions. Manchester United basically have to try and finish in the top four, i think that's the best they can achieve in the EPL this season, they could also try and defend their Carabao cup trophy.
While greedy Glazers still in, I completely agree with Paul Merson about the situation at Manchester United. He said that Man United is quite far from winning the EPL, and it's hard to argue against that. 34 more games to be played, and it feels like they've just started to build a team. Now, with the international break, they'll have to try again. We believe they'll get back to winning ways at some point. What's really crucial now is to restore that winning mentality because it seems like they've lost the ability to win games.
No matter how much investment Manchester United has invested, it will not make any real changes to the team. Even though it takes a process, Manchester United will always get comparisons with other teams and of course ridicule will always be on them. I'm just trying to think realistically that now is not the right moment for any team to win the EPL title because Manchester City is really on the right track and hard to shake.
Now Erik Ten Hag's job is only to restore the players' confidence so that they have a high mentality in every match. I see that ETH is building that foundation but unfortunately when he needed it, some of his top players were injured, maybe that's why the Red Devils' steps faltered a bit. But I am sure that after the international break Manchester United will return to winning ways and of course this season I really want to see them really able to compete at the top of the standings.
