Is this good enough business to get into a champions league place? It’s certainly not good enough to win the league that’s for sure. Let’s hope for some luck

Depends on how fitness all players they had, especially the injuries. Sadly though, Yoro will be out for at least 3 months due to the injury he picked during the preseason. I think if this squad keeps healthy without notable injuries, they will probably secure at least the Champions League place.

Even that squad isn't good enough to win the Europa League this season. Just like Champions League, it's a completely new format with league phase and more games that will certainly increase the risk of injuries. The ties against Porto, Rangers, and Fenerbahce (with Jose Mourinho as a coach) might be a big tests for this club (and EtH, of course). Failing to win all of those, even against lesser teams such as Bodo/Glimt (they had infamous 6-1 win against Roma not long ago in the Conference League), will surely put EtH's job into jeopardy. And just like Champions League, all teams in Europa League are more balanced. Even Tottenham Hotspurs (another PL club playing in this competition) gets a tougher draw in form of Roma, who were the finalist of this competition two seasons prior. Personally, I want to predict Manchester United to finish Top 4 in Premier League and reach Europa League quarterfinals this season.
 
I mean we’ve already lost against Brighton and todays match vs Liverpool who will probably be favourites to beat us could potentially give us 2 losses out of 3 games. As far as how we’ve played I’ve not really seen anything massively change from last season. We’ve got to really go at them if we’re going to win today. Anyway not long to go!!

Edit: a continuation of last season. Yet again we crumble. Setting aside the individual mistakes that lead to them scoring their goals… how the f**k does Rashford keep getting chosen to play?! We should have got him out the club in the summer. He’s the highest paid player at the club on a whopping 300k a week. His performances for over a year now are worth about 10k a week and I’m being generous. I’m tired of people talking about him like he’s a young kid that needs time too. He’s 26! That’s almost a seasoned veteran in football terms!
Ten Hag is in his third season at the club and we’re playing exactly the same as when he first started. We’re a weak and undisciplined squad that crumble when the game gets tough. Sir Jim Ratcliffe better be going hell for leather to find a replacement for him because I’ve had enough of Ten Hag and his excuses. Unless a miracle happens we’re going to end up finishing in the same place as last season or worse

No excuses about what happened last night at Old Trafford (that loss against Liverpool). This team were so mediocre, overall. Ten Hag's time seems to be running out. Same old team with LOTS of big issues, on and off the pitch.

The only team that could match the same Manchester United's mediocrity in this season were Everton. This club were nowhere to be found in terms of the success. 3 losses in the first 3 PL games, including that painful one against Bournemouth, where they let Bournemouth scored 3 goals in the last minutes despite being 2-0 up at first. What happened for Everton more recently really followed Manchester United when it replied to club management struggles in the past decade, as they fought against relegation survival three times, including the one where they had points got docked due to the financial troubles.

It should have happened when I said it should have happened. I was outraged that he still had his job when we finished 8th last season. Dunno if it was because we couldn’t find someone or that they just gave him another chance but either way his tactics have been a$$ no matter how we look at it. Maybe a new manager will reinvigorate out lacklustre squad. That’s hope though more than anything!
