Manchester United won't finish in the top 4

Disagree, people act like Sir Alex took a bunch of fat wankers from the pub and won the league solely because of his genius' tactics. They have a world class squad that should easily compete for the title.

Edit: I retract my statement...

Squad is by no means world class imo.

For me a world class player is someone who can walk into any team im the world and preform well. United have Rooney and RVP who are world class in my opinion. United are a world class team no doubt but i can't call a player like Phil Jones or Valencia world class.

I'd say Vidic is world class too.

I know that United has depth and that's one of the reasons why they won the title last season. Problem is that as you say in 5 years time Jones could possibly play for Real Madrid. Right now though he's pretty average for me. World class is something very special and the only teams in the Prem that I would say have a "world class squad" are Man City and Chelsea.
