This season in football, just like (a major part of) the industrial revolution, it’s all about Manchester! And for City, it really has been three years of revolution, with billionaire investment resulting in them winning their first major trophy in 35 years last season. After Sunday's 4-0 crushing of Premiership newcomers Swansea, which included a brace and an assist from new £35 million signing Sergio Aguero, City look incredibly strong (although having said that, Swansea are one of the league’s weaker teams, due to being newly promoted – still, City showed no mercy). As a United fan, I am confident that we will retain the tile; City are my biggest concern though. Forget Chelsea. Forget Arsenal. This season the title race is between two teams – and they are both in Manchester! United have looked good in pre-season, and although they didn’t have the best of starts against West Brom, a win is a win. With United’s new signings (Ashley Young in particular looks very promising), and having beaten City recently in the Community Shield with a very late injury time winner, I believe that with our strength in squad depth and stamina, we will probably just pip the title this season. City will probably boost their squad with more signings in January though, so it will be a very tough race for the title.
