* Opportunities assessment of M.U in 2018/19
Up until this point of the 2018 summer transfer period, M.U has not had any significant additions to the defense. Next to Eric Bailly, Mourinho has not yet had another midfielder in hand. In addition, Antonio Valencia's wings and Ashley Young have entered the "age of the hash." It will be difficult to catch the duo for a long time. If there are no more contracts in the defense this will be the weakest line of M.U next season.

At the top, Mourinho brought back midfielder Fred. The presence of this player will help release Pogba out of defense. Thus, Mourinho will gamble with Pogba cards. If the French midfielder to maximize their ability, M.U will be extremely dangerous each line up the ball no longer, they will encounter deadlock.

* Prediction: 3rd
