While we know there are flaws for United to address, including a need to sign a defensive midfielder, this side still has the ability to go all the way. In the spirit of pre-season positivity, here is a look at five reasons why United can win the title this season…. This team is constantly improving and evolving and United have been able to keep hold of Paul Pogba despite concern he could be sold.
United came close last season and topped the league in January, giving the team a taste, fuelling motivation for the season ahead. It will also have given the team plenty of belief. Last season United made a huge step forward, from simply battling for top four, to fighting for the title.
One of the keys to success is getting supporters back at Old Trafford, which will lift the home form which saw just 10 out of 19 league wins last season. Edinson Cavani scored 17 goals last season and will want to improve this time around and finish with a trophy. Mason Greenwood will kick on too, and Marcus Rashford will return refreshed after his operation. Anthony Martial cannot go backwards, and if he can return to the form which saw him net 23 times two years ago, he will be a top asset.
The winger can unlock defences and create chances, while also taking pressure off Bruno Fernandes, who scored 28 goals last season and provided 18 assists. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side, who have lost three of their last four games in all competitions, dropped more points in Saturday's clash against Aston Villa after a late header from defender Kortney Hause sealed a deserved win for the Villans.
United had the chance to equalise in the dying embers of the game at Old Trafford but Bruno Fernandes skied his penalty and the Reds were left to rue a number of missed chances. In a segment of his Sky Sports podcast that was broadcast over the weekend, Neville says his former side must learn to play like a team if they are to challenge for the title alongside the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.
They'll have patches of four or five games where they only win two, but then they'll go and win 15 on the bounce and be unbeaten away from home for a while. I have called them the odd bunch, because I still look at them and think of them as a team who win games in moments.
The global nature of the club can be seen by the fact that the official Facebook page has over 73 million fans , considerably larger than the population of the whole of the United Kingdom.
