We asked you for your views on how Manchester United have started the season – and where you thought they might finish.
The most popular selection from respondents was between sixth and 10th (49%), while 25% believe United will occupy one of the top four spots at the end of the campaign.
Here are some of your comments:
Rob: I expect them to improve in the next few games, though it will be hard not to. If United lose at Southampton I think Erik ten Hag will be asked to leave. I was hopeful for the season given the summer transfers but it all looks a bit the same. Drop Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Andre Onana for a few games and see how the team does. Overall I think they’ll be sixth.
Nigel: Stagnation – the only word to describe things at the moment. No motivation, no pride, no direction and no leader. Quite sad.
Chris: Three games in, so give him time. We have a new defensive midfielder starting and this team will get better. Confident that we will be top four by the end of the season.
Oggymeister: Confidence and self belief are difficult to build after a negative start. They look vulnerable and are no longer feared, either playing at home or away. Constantly playing from the back is a daft strategy and gets opportunity bells ringing from any aggressive forward. Either the game approach changes or they will struggle to be in the top six.
David: Hopefully a new settled back four and a young aggressive defensive midfielder will allow a more dynamic style of play to develop in the coming weeks. A few goals for Rasmus Hojlund and we’ll be on our way. I’m saying fifth but a chance of winning the Europa League if the momentum builds and continues.
Grace: I think the fans have to exercise patience. Only a few years ago, Ralf Rangnick told of the open heart surgery the club needs, so we were never going to be suddenly winning every game. The fact Ten Hag has won two trophies deserves credit for that considering the squad isn’t ready and needs time to develop. Fans need to chill and be patient.
