I would've probably countered your opinion if only Manchester United were going to manager that's different from the one that's been at the club for the past two seasons but since Erik ten Hag is still the club's coach and will still oversee their games next season, I seriously doubt that Manchester United are going to do anything better than they've done in recent seasons. Considering the quality of players at United, I think they have all it takes to become a serious contender for the league title next season but the club manager haven't been convincing enough with his performances for anyone to think they can challenge the English champions Manchester City. Like you rightly said, Manchester United might make it to top four but not winning the league title
I don't ignore your opinion because it is a possibility that could happen it's just that sometimes there are things we never thought of and it can be a surprise. Ten Hag may not be the greatest manager but last season he had a lot of problems with players such as injuries and legal cases thus disrupting its performance, well, for next season we don't know what other problems will come. For the Premier League I have 3 favourite teams to win the title the first is Arsenal and Manchester City then Chelsea I see these teams have the potential to be closer to the title, Meanwhile Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United do not seem worthy of competing there. do you have another favorite team?
All the players of a team will not be fit for a whole season, so the manager of every team should think of alternatives in advance, thinking that players may get injured. If you only strengthen your starting XI but don't pay attention to your bench players then you will never reach a good position with your team. For example, if several important players of the original eleven are injured, then if you cannot support your original eleven with good quality players from the bench, then the performance of the team will gradually decrease. Sometimes a player is injured for the entire season after performing in a few matches at the beginning of the season, but the club suffers a lot if the club does not have alternative options. This season too, Manchester United did not have an alternative option, so failure may await them in the next season as well.
