But this is a United team that I feel, at this point in time, confident in finishing in the top five. voice-verified

I don't think it's going to be... voice-verified

a scratch and claw battle, providing everyone stays fit. voice-verified

And this is me knocking on wood, providing everyone stays fit. voice-verified

I think if without any more signings, United will probably finish closer to fifth than to third. voice-verified

But I think player health is going to be a real, real big thing. voice-verified

A season where Luke Shaw stays fit and plays 30 Premier League matches is where United can finish within the top five. voice-verified

far more ease than if Luke Shaw does his hamstring in November and we're once again going, oh my goodness, where's this? voice-verified

I mean, even just now, Laurie, when you point out how many right wingers we have, it's quite funny how quickly Michael Carrick stockpiled left footed players at Manchester United where he considered there was a point on the ten hog where he just seemingly had none for a little bit. voice-verified

A little bit. voice-verified

I think there's internal worries for me for Man United. voice-verified

Is there going to be a third midfielder? voice-verified

Are Newcastle in the middle of a transitional period now that Eddie Howe's departed and they seem to be buying younger this summer window as well? voice-verified

Aston Villa will continue to be functional because I think Uma Emery is a very, very good coach. voice-verified

Is he going to be able to balance Champions League duties as well as league duties and kick on there? voice-verified

I'm not going to predict where Tottenham are until Christmas because Tottenham are Tottenham and a law unto themselves. voice-verified
