, where poor sod James Westwood has been tasked with writing ‘Five reasons why Man Utd can win a quadruple’. Of course, we can’t be absolutely certain that he was told to do this against his better judgement because numbers; we must accept the tiny possibility that he truly believes this nonsense. But James has quite cleverly left some very early clues that suggest he knows what you and we know.
One is Casemiro’s brilliance and the influence of his winning mentality on the rest of the squad. Yes. He is both brilliant and a winner. No problem. Another is Marcus Rashford’s lethal form this year. Again, and to our absolute delight because he’s our favourite, there is no argument to be made against this claim.. And the third is that Erik Ten Hag is a bloody good football manager with an ability to shape and alter matches mid-game that few can match. Yes, yes, yes.
And yes, in Rashford, United have a striker in rare form. City notably have quite a handy goalscorers of their own, though. Spurs are still in the FA Cup and famously also boast such a player. And even Westwood notes that Ten Hag’s undoubted excellence this season at best puts him ‘in the same mould as Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp’.
Arsenal’s is lack of depth. Fine, we guess. It’s been a talking point all season, but one significantly addressed in January by the addition of two Premier League-hardened players who have come straight into the team and hit the ground running in Leandro Trossard and Jorginho. It might still hurt Arsenal, but it’s not as obvious a problem as it once appeared. There’s more, though.
They might, you see, prioritise the Champions League, which they have never won, over the Premier League, which they have often won. This again feels like an entirely valid argument. In a different piece, it would be absolutely fine. ‘Why Arsenal can still win the Premier League title’ for instance. ‘Supercomputer predicts Manchester United’s quadruple chances after Carabao Cup win’ parps the headline.
