I said it! 

Having said that, I may concede on the defence. Ashley Young looks well and truly gone, and the CBs aren't looking crash hot. 

But for me, the calibre of the midfielders, the forwards, plus De Gea, Shaw and Dalot, are definitely good enough to be in a league-winning side. 

There's a further complication though, and that would be the sheer quality of Man City the last 2 seasons, and Liverpool this season. The points they are racking up is absolutely insane - they both already have just about league-winning totals with 4/5 games to go!

Perhaps you aren't capable of that, but then nobody is right now, except them, it's pretty crazy. However you can't say ManU's squad is less than Leicester's when they won league in 2016, which is the obvious benchmark for this debate.
