Hi Davilillons and welcome to Premier Skills English!

Thanks for your comment, I hope it's the first of many! Your English is very good and using phrases like 'in fact' show that you have a good understanding of the language. However, there are a couple of things I could help you with:

1) 'I think as Jane' is incorrect. You could say: I think the same as Jane.

2) When you say 'they have signed to other defender and other midfielder' you say this as a fact but it hasn't happened yet, so it would be better to say: 'they need to sign another defender or another midfielder'  or 'they have to sign another defender or midfielder'.

Hope that helps!

Manchester United have already bought Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan(rumours that Pogba will reinforce their midfield become louder) and with new pragmatist manager- Jose Mourinho, they will definitely be one of the pretenders on the title. Very difficult task is making prediction, especially after previous amazing season, let say that Manchester United will be at the third position at the end.

Jane Lost is right when talking about Man spending during year 2015/2016. If I am not wrong it was worth more than 150 Millions pounds. The results for this year were not at the level. But there is a good point in making debut for youngs from its own formation center like Rasheford and some youngsters from outside like Martial. Its a good thing to make these efforts when losing in recruiting a substitute to the most ancient manager of the League. After two attempts do Morinho will succeed. I hope it will although I am not a Man fan.

I'd love to say something about my Man U expectations for new season,but it's pretty hard to predict,considering what's been this year.Well,with such a new manager and players they should be at least winners of season 2016/17,but as I said,it's hard to predict accurately,so anything's possible.I just hope Man U will do better next season :)

I agree with you Jane for the difficulty of prediction, especially with the great win of Leicester City last season.
They may win the first place as you predict or the second as Rich predict, or the third as I do. My prediction is purely based on hazard.

No doubt,Man Utd is th greatest club in football at all,but how they spent their money for transfers and how they're doing now isn't really exciting.Such high predictions for last season(and nlt only that one) and as a result- a place in Europe League and only 5th position in the PL.Very dissapointing.
