Three reasons why Manchester United will finish in the top four

2. The belief is back or is it

If David Moyes’ side have to finish in a top four berth, they will have to believe in themselves. United have it in their genes to rescue matches from the most testing of times, and as former manager Sir Alex Ferguson claimed, it would be too early to write them off.

It is a measure of how the expectations have changed at Old Trafford that title talk has been replaced by questions of a Champions League berth, it’s rightly a period of transition for the defending Champions.

Moreover, the last two days of the transfer window might see a another good player still joining the Red Devils, thus this where I feel the belief needs to be back that they can bulldoze any side on their path in the second half of the campaign.
