As much as I dislike Manchester United, I have to admit that they are going to be a very powerful force in the upcoming season after buying Robin van Persie from bitter rivals Arsenal. This off-season has been quite a positive one for the Red Devils as well as its supporters. The purchase of van Persie and Japanese playmaker Shinji Kagawa further strengthened their already mighty squad. Plus, Daniel Fletcher and Nemanja Vidic are back in action after lengthy spells off the pitch.
A strikeforce comprising of van Persie and Wayne Rooney, the two top scorers of last season's BPL, looks delicious to look forward to. That is not to mention the likes of Nani, Danny Welback and Javier Hernandez who are all equally fantastic. The loss of their captain was devastating to Arsenal but losing him to an arch-rival is almost like surrendering the title. Alex Song could be the next one to leave the Gunners.
With four prolific forwards to choose from, Manchester United go into the new season as the strongest challengers. Although Manchester City have all the money, they have only signed Jack Rodwell, a youngster who looks set to sit on the bench for most of the time, from Everton. City do have quality strikers too like Sergio Aguero but nothing looks more lethal than a fantasy partnership of Rooney and van Persie which used to exist only in games
