Obviously my choice of placing Manchester United in top 4 is controversial, considering their present performance. But I did consider some things which includes;
1. Manchester United has a better squad compared to last year;
2. Manchester United management might fire Erik Ten Hang in the next few matches if he remains poor. If this happens and a new coach is employed, Manchester United will make top 4. Otherwise, there is no way they will be there with their current coach.
Picking the first ten clubs in the Premier League Competition shouldn't be based on just the recent performance ( which I see a whole lotta people doing ) but should be long term. Manchester United has did good business when it comes to the defense. With consistency Erik Ten Hag with fill up the potholes. They have one of the best depth in defense unlike last season with too many Injuries. Glad to also see Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia joining in soon. There's nothing control.V about placing them there they would be third place at the end of the campaign next season. I won't say they have a better squad but this one would be consistent.
I don't see them sacking Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United fans are just too impatient. Prior to the new season, Erik Ten Hag told the press how the sqaud is not ready. And don't forget, you want change and growth, then you have to give the manager time yes this might be his third season in charge but emphasis on the time. They'll deff start winning soon ( Southampton ) hopefully Garnacho and Amad are the flankers.
