Asuming the squad stays together - which it should - and Jose gets another few signings in over the summer what do you gents reckon the ambition will be for next season?

Will it be a genuine title challenge that United have yet to mount since the Fergie era or another battle between 4th and 6th?
Can United really push for the big boys cup this coming year in the CL or will it be another Sevilla cup?

For me it may depend on a Mourinho Masterclass or a Mourinho implosion.

Title and CL should be the target.

I would think top 4 is the minimum target with a title challenge and a good show in the champions league a bonus. You can't be expecting the club to win the league every season anymore, nobody has retained the title in a long time and I was looking earlier the last 4 winners of the premier league have finished 7th, 2nd, 10th and 12th the following season.

It is harder than ever now with so many teams competing. Having finished where we have over the last few seasons to expect us to just go and win the league would be a little naive in my mind, obviously I would want us to go and win it but I don't think it will be as simple as that.

Obviously the team have to have that as their target though, we want to win every game and continue the improvement I'm just being a bit more realistic. I know some people like to say we should win the treble just so they can moan when we don't but I'm not like that.

I don't think anyone has said we should win the league although we should challenge.

A title challenge is a must. We can't be going into February or March and out of the title race. I know we finished 5th last year but I think a lot of players (mainly the attackers) let us down last year. Martial had a poor season, Myki was hot and cold, Rashford didn't score enough goals for me, Rooney didn't contribute much, Zlatan missed a lot of chances, Lingard is a passenger. So many chances missed by them all. With a few new additions and hopefully those players can up their game, we should have enough to mount an attack on the league!

Totally agree jred. We should be challenging. With some luck and a wind behind us we could win the league if the new signings setlle quickly. But i would expect the ambition would be to be within striking distance at easter.
There are 4 or 5 teams that can win it imo.

title challenge and last 8 of europe, i think that is achievable. i really don't want to hear top 4 is the target come christmas!

Challenge for the title and at least the quarter finals in the CL. I think we will finish top 2 and make the semis.

Agree with Fresh and strebor - title challenge and last 8 of CL should be the aim. That would restore our status and some confidence among our squad. A trophy (esp the league title) would be the cherry on top.
