I actually like the fact that most media commentators are tipping Man U to easily slip back into the top four or even challenge for the title.
I assume that the less cerebral fans are also buying into the hype and expecting similar things.
Unless they get off to a fast start and maintain a comfortable position in the top four the pressure will be even greater on Van Gal because of the previous heightened expectations.
It still doesn't strike me as a totally focused and eh, united club and I don't think it will take long for the cracks to reappear
