1) Manchester United (3)
They’re going to be really proper good again, aren’t they? It’s not ideal for those of us who grew up through the Ferguson years, but at least there are ample silver linings. Erik Ten Hag is a good manager doing a good job and it’s nice to know that you weren’t losing your mind all those years wondering “Would Manchester United not be better off if they got a proper manager, though? Why don’t they just do that?”
Marcus Rashford is the most in-form forward in world football, which is also good. And also Cristiano Ronaldo is in the mud. And Piers Morgan is in the mud.
Still, though, Manchester United being good instead of funny is a high price to pay. On current form should definitely end their own quite long trophy drought on Sunday in the Carabao and extend Newcastle’s extremely long one.
