Thing about them, they ain't necessarily worse than last season. In fact, they probably played much better in the champions league than last season.
It is just when Ferguson's team is chasing back a goal, they always have the lucky break or the intensity to score that crucial goal. We have always wondered why is United always so jammy even when they are playing like shit, now with a manager who isn't all that with man management, it is showing.
Everton and Liverpool will definitely finish ahead of them, not sure about Spurs under Sherwood yet.
