Are Manchester United really back?

That was certainly the feeling back in February after winning the League Cup and beating Barcelona.

But now league form is faltering and their Champions League place is under threat from arch rivals Liverpool.

And do they have enough in the tank to stop City winning a possible treble?

All this plus the uncertainty over the ownership rumbles on.

Oh my word, what's happened to Hay and doing?

We have everything in our hands. We don't have to look to others.

We have to look to ourselves. I'll find a way to get back to our hands. We don't have to look to others. We have to look to ourselves and I'll find a way to

get back to our levels. Okay, we're joined by the Athletics, Adam Crafton and also one of our

That is literally what the club is facing up to in these final weeks of the season,

isn't it?

It is.

Five out of 10 is really generous, isn't it?
