I was going to post this even before the goal, but I'm looking at United's XI. There are a few world class players, but I don't see it being strong enough to win the title with City, Chelsea, and Arsenal around.

Granted, I know nothing about Blackett, Lingard, and Reece James.

What would the healthy "back five" look like? Young-Jones-Smalling-Evans-Shaw?

Blackett has looked like he's got it in him to make it. Lingard is pretty exciting, it's really too bad he had to come off injured. This starting 11 is shocking though. So many players gone in the summer and all the injuries... Have to do more in this window. Still need another CB and CM at the very least.

I think Valencia is a better wingback than Young, so I'd throw him in there opposite of Shaw when healthy.

(Dang it, I love Ki)

Would be my main concern. Several good young center backs but no world class veterans. The way Van Gaal has been talking, they'll still bring in one or two more players though.
