Manchester United 2016/17 Season Preview: Five Questions

As we preview the new Premier League season, we pick out five questions for Man Utd.

What have they done in the transfer market?

After missing out on qualifying for Champions League football for the second time in three seasons, Manchester United have splashed the cash this summer to strengthen the squad at new boss Jose Mourinho's disposal.

The incoming manager soon identified the key areas to improve and the acquisitions of Eric Bailly, Henrik Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have United supporters encouraged that the club has done just that. The chase for Paul Pogba continues…

What does the manager say?

"I want to be champion. To say before the season starts that the top four is the target? The top four is not the target. We want to play to be champions. If during the season we realise the points difference doesn't allow us to fight for the title, we are going to establish a new title and when you can't be champion the next target is to finish top four."

What's the pundit verdict?

"Jose Mourinho has knowledge of the Premier League. Manchester United have really suffered from not having a big personality, someone who can drag the lesser lights with them. Now they have Zlatan Ibrahimovic. If he has a really good season then United could win it." - Graeme Souness
