View from last season's English Premier League, United's line-up still has its flaws. Welbeck is poor in grasping the opportunity, Carrick is limited in offensive creativity, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs may cause worry due to their ages; Ferguson wants to sign in heavyweight strikers from the transfer market, Robin van Persie and Bundesliga MVP Kagawa has become the "Red Devils", but Brazilian 20-year-old genius Lucas was snatched away by Paris St Germain. At least Gunner give in to Ferguson finally, the combination of Rooney, van Persie and Shinji Kagawa is worth looking forward to.

What makes Man Utd worry most is the injury problems, last season, Vidic, Fletcher and Anderson were all in long-term sidelined recovering, Nani, Valencia, Welbeck also played in a stop-go state. So Ferguson can only pray for the condition would be better in the new season, though Ferguson's own physical health is also worrying. He was sent to hospital because of unstopped nosebleed on May, his close friend, club Wigan Chairman Dave Whelan revealed that Ferguson will retire after next season. The strong rise of Chelsea and Manchester City creates more great difficulties for Manchester United's win, of cause, Ferguson will face greater pressure. Manchester United is losing in the European pitch last season, they don't want to repeat the nightmare in the new season. However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, Manchester United is still hold the hegemony of English Premier League, to win the champion is their only target.

The rise of Manchester City breaks the original BIG4 pattern, which means the Champions League qualification competition is becoming fiercer. Coupled with Tottenham, Newcastle and other strong clubs, the new season's English Premier League is expected to continue the scene in which seven giants compete for the top four.
