So Manchester United's English football empire that we (and I especially) love very much now is at a time when just saying "hard" about it would be quite an understatement. From the largest and strongest English group we have become and seem to continue to look at the tail of the other strong Englishmen like City, Liverpool and even Tottenham ...
Let's start from where we are and this is the end of last season.
We finished last season with 66 points in the league, and in fact since leaving Fergie only "Moys 2013/14 season" has been worse because we finished with 64 points. In the sixth spot leading to the European league with her we will have to face or alternate not to face an astronomical distance of no less than 32 points from city rival and champion in the last two years in Manchester City. We broke full of negative records in the next important season in between that we broke the record in which we hit the most goals in the season since the establishment of the Premier League.
So yes we opened the previous season with Mourinho, since Solashiar got in his shoes at first we seemed to be on the wave and then pretty soon we returned to the same place ...
Could Mourinho be right and our staff weaker than the others? Unequivocally yes. Even after bringing Maguire the most expensive defensive acquisition in all of our history, the defense lags behind the other defenses, and Van Bissaka is a good buy but one defender can't change a whole team and in our anemic midfield we have to get along with Pogba who has no desire to play alongside slow players and Fred (I don't know what He has but he is lukewarm minus) Add to that the captain Ashley Young who is not worth minutes of play, a slowdown that will make us look like he is the same fixture that brought the Champions League to the same Chelsea then in 2012 combined with failed Lingford Wardsford who puts his nerves on other players and does not work Right Offensive = What did we get?
In my rough estimation 7th place, without European, humiliating impeachment in the important English Cup and perhaps a consolation prize for the League Cup to have someone in which to lean too is not safe.
I remain pessimistic.
And we will move to London Chelsea. The only team in the English league that, since 2000, we have a negative balance against it that includes more losses than wins (wait wait at this rate more teams will soon be added). Chelsea also seem to have lost something of their way, too many coaches and players I don't follow, but for some reason it is already well known that Tottenham has become the senior Londoner and Chelsea are likely to struggle very hard for the Top 4 with another London Arsenal and according to many experts Eventually, she is expected to finish 5th.
Chelsea that somehow and a huge gap from the top 2 finished 3rd in the final season seems to be not an easy season at all and add to the champions (which Chelsea are unlikely to reach beyond the eighth as well) and the truth is an interesting puzzle what will happen to her. Chelsea recalls selling Raleigh its biggest star in recent years to the Zaran sill and did not really bring bombardment names in the summer other than Kovacic who signed officially after Marial and Polisich returned from the loan.
