Nooo. Their dodgy defence was very influential in them losing out on the title, wouldn't want them sorting it out.
In fairness, they had to deal without Vidic for most of the season. Plus they wouldn't want to kill Chris Smalling who is fantastic and they just spent 17m on Phil Jones.
If Hazard is the world class player waiting to happen then I don't want him at United because he's that extra creativity/class they need.
I don't get people who think this United squad is weak. They're in transition but the potential is obvious and they still managed 89 points in the league, which must be highest ever without winning? Frightening.
But they are weak. The quality in their squad is very limited, or very old. They just have a manager who has managed to conceal their weaknesses through discipline, keeping the players hungry, and a strong defence. Their midfield (creatively speaking) is bland, and apart from the occasional Rooney intervention, they basically only attack through the wings. That's what they do, and they do it very effectively.
This is why I have a grudging respect and admiration for Fergie. He gets the best out of his group, regardless. They lost out on the league to City only on goal difference for chrissakes!
