What did the experts and the pundits predict for Manchester United this season? Let’s see …
A crucial season to try to end the Chelsea dominance … United look short of goals without Ruud van Nistelrooy … the club are probably playing for second once more.
The midfield has less bite than Shane McGowan, Cristiano Ronaldo’s heart isn’t in it, the fragile Louis Saha makes Darren Anderton seem like Geoff Capes and referees will have it in for Wayne Rooney.
… the midfield needs addressing and they don’t have the strength in depth of Chelsea or even Liverpool.
The Guardian writers on United’s final position.
Kevin McCarra: 3rd, Richard Williams: 4th, David Pleat: 3rd, Michael Walker: 4th, Daniel Taylor: 3rd, Dominic Fifield: 3rd, Matt Scott: 4th, Stuart James: 3rd.
And last but by no means least, here’s a prediction done with mathematics …
It is just a matter of days before we are the leaders…I have done the calculations and we will finish at least five points clear of United at the top of the table.
