Can Manchester United Win the Premiership?
Manchester United have had a great start to their 2006/2007 premiership campaign. The big question is, can they sustain this momentum or will Chelsea surpass their efforts and be crowned champions for the third successive season? Before the season started many critics had written Manchester United off. As far as they were concerned Man Utd were a team of old, a team in decline with no real prospects of landing any silverware in the season to come. So far they have proved their critics wrong. Their only defeat came at the hands of Arsenal, a team that despite a stuttering start looks to be strong and in contention. Manchester United sit at the top of the premiership, a position they have held so many times in the past. Nobody can argue that the premiership is an altogether more competitive league today than it was 5 years ago. The arrival of Chelsea as a financial superpower has done much to increase the competition. Such has been the rise of Chelsea’s dominance over the past two seasons that most people have not mentioned Chelsea’s great start, it is merely expected from a team that has invested nearly £300 million in new players Since Abramovich arrived. We are fast approaching Christmas a time when the league starts to take a distinct shape. The potential champions begin to stand up and be counted and the hopefuls start to drift away. This season promises to be the closest yet with Manchester United, Chelsea and possibly Arsenal challenging for honours. Can Manchester United win the title? They most certainly can, but they will need discipline and desire like never before if they are to bring the title back to Old Trafford
