    £110 million when you include the agents fees!! No body is worth that sort of money, he played second fiddle to Moussa Sissoko in the final. It will be interesting to see how he fits in this United team, will there be room for Rooney?? Rooney spent a lot of time last season either being injured or out of favour, can't see him getting much of a look in this season, but you can rule out Mata making any impact this season.
    There is going to be massive pressure on this United side that hung in last year by the heroics of De Gea. I've seen signs at the end of last season and during the Euro's that he's a bit off his best!!
    It's going to be interesting to see how united handle all the pressure, but they have a nice easy game against Bournemouth to ease them in.

Ile go for man city, man utd , chelsea, spurs. And bottom 3 watford, hull and burnley. I dont think west brom will be relegated as tony pulis is a good manager and usually keeps his teams up.
    For as long as I can remember, Arsenal always scrap into the top 4.

    I thought I read somewhere that the premier league was in danger of losing 4th place in Champions League soon as the English teams have been shite in recent seasons e.g. No finalists since Chelsea won it in 2012.

    Leicester are shorter odds to get relegated 13/1 than win it.

    I doubt that will kick in until after the next season, if it ever does. Not much point trying to finish in the top 4 otherwise!!

    Leicester proved last season, they don't mind being the underdog. Watched them the last day, was unlucky not to bring them game to extra time. They could still have a decent premiership, but I think where they will hurt is playing midweek European football and playing again 3 or 4 days later in the premiership.

    First big shock of the season, while everyone runs to their local paddypower to drop a score on Hull to win the premiership

    Just need Bournemouth and liverpool to do a number on United and Arsenal now, and this weekend will be made
