I can't see United doing much this season, but I am confident they will qualify for Europe by finishing top 6
Even players that turned out to be greats - such as Beckham, G. Neville and Paul Scholes... they were added to an already championship winning squad. Even with the likes of Ferdinand, Rooney, Vidic, Ronaldo. The base of a good squad was always there. Others have come in recently, such as Mata, Di Maria, Herrera, but the basis of a good squad isn't there. A team is only as good as it's defence. Man Utd for the first time in my memory have put out a 3 and 2 wing backs, yet there's not one that stands out as a great player.
