I like it that Manchester United is been undermined like this before the season begins, so that when the opposite happens, the surprise will make sense enough, as a result of the performance of the team last season it is becoming difficult to believe in the team even with the recent signings, they may have not done too many signings but I want to believe the little done so far will be really impactful throughout the season.
Manchester United is still quite cautious about signing players for next season, perhaps because they're still reflecting on last season, where some players didn't make any impact. So, next season, Manchester United will focus more on implementing more appropriate tactics, although the team has recently signed two players they can rely on until the end of the season. I hope Manchester United can compete for the top four next season, as this will not only make the competition more interesting but also make the league even more intense.
I think Manchester United is experiencing shortages of funds, if not they would have be the first team to start signing those talented players Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams in the premier League signed against next season.
