Top four is the aim this season and United’s current squad can get that

The title is long gone with all the defenders in the world unable to pull it back for United this term, but the top four is still very much doable.

With United’s current squad – when they are all fit obviously – it is more than achievable given Liverpool and Arsenal have their own issues.

If Van Gaal cannot bring in the players he really wants this winter, they should be ok until the summer – at a push.
