Manchester United somehow only 7 points off top.

Alex Ferguson must head round the PL offices and just add some points on while nobody is looking.

Finishing top 4 last season despite always looking like a bang average team probably hasn’t helped them.

The executives are fucking clueless about football and obviously didn’t see they were nowhere near competitive last season and this season is just reverting to the mean after over performing last season. But they just see numbers on the page and think “well done boys, good process”.

Getting lucky with Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham having rank seasons shouldn’t have convinced them that Man United were suddenly an okay football team.
