I think Newcastle and Aston Villa will also be among the teams that can get past Manchester United. It seems to me that you are very positive about Man Utd, because they have not had so many changes in the off-season to expect that they will become stronger. I know that everyone wants to believe that this is possible, but I think that they will not be able to compete for the Champions League this season, at best it will be the Eurocup zone.
I can feel the sadness in you, Arsenal fan. you guys never imagine that Manchester united can still attract good players in the summer even when they have no Europe cup football next season. The club is a big one and every players wants to play in Manchested united to be seen all over the wolrd, as club with the most supportive fans in the world. If you watch the preseason games, you will agree with me that Manchester united style of play has changed, the quality in the squad has really cause the change.
With the new signing the coach have no excuse to compete for top four and win title next season, all he asked for has been given to him, is just for him for rotate the squad and get the result for the fans, Newcastle and Aston villa has more games to play next Season than Manchester united, who are only playing premiers games, so they have more advantage to finish ahead of Aston villa and Newcastle next season.
