The race for the final few Champions league spots has become very tight.

He's done your lads more favours over the years though

15 games unbeaten. 4 goals conceded and 38 scored.
Should be favourites for the title next year in that form.

Your words this time  ;D

Fernandes seems to have made a huge difference since his arrival. Haven't seen much of Utd this season so can any regular watchers tell me how is Pogba's body language? Can he and Fernandes play together? Where do Utd need to strengthen?

The problem Utd still have is winning games at one nil! They still give away too many cheap goals, while they have put in some decent performances they've drawn some games where they should have been outta sight

even as crap as Brighton were the other night, that Utd team coughed up some decent chances for Brighton the better teams put away.

There's still a bit of work in progress with this team.

Koulibaly would go a long way to addressing the major weaknesses left in that Utd team.

He's a great player. Won't be long before the big boys sit up and take notice  ;)

The shape or set up in defence needs improving, its like they get caught out of position at times or loose concentration.

Other than that they have a decent midfield and craking forward line

Deep pockets required there, but yes, he's the real deal.

Would Utd splash major cash for a 29YO with little resell value??

They need a partner for Maguire who is better than him.

100%. If United are going to progress to being a title contender the likes of Lindelof and Shaw can only be squad players, not starters.

In with a good shot at 3rd now which would be fine as there are two sides clearly better than United at the moment. Away to Leicester in the last game could be a belter. Cup semi final and Europa league playoffs to come too - is it any wonder the Liverpool fans are on here commenting - this is where all the excitement is!  ;D

Very good body language playing the game with a smile on his face again, early days yet but both have gelled together very well helped by the Matic sitting behind them in CDM role, Matic has been re-born since Bruno arrived.

Bench options are where United need to strengthen most, a few injuries to first choice players and things will quickly derail once more.

A bit of progress has been made on the defence,  8 clean sheets in the last 13 PL games now more than United managed under Ole in the previous 40 games.

Can usually tell a how ropey a United defence is by the how busy DeGea is,  on Tuesday DeGea only had to make two saves all night and the the first came on 69 minutes from a long range shot from Connolly. By then United had rung the changes, Pogba, Bruno and Shaw all off and the latter while maybe not a long term first choice option played well.

the way Leicester are playing I expect two from Utd/Wolves and Chelsea. Sky must be delighted. With the league being wrapped up so early they could not have scripted the last day of the season better in terms of Leicester/Utd and Chelsea/Wolves for the top four assuming they all stay in touch. West Ham/Villa could potentially be meaningful as well.
