Bridesmaids are important.

Continuing on my boring thread of EPL placings, i am going to be rather predictable and say Man Utd will finish 2nd. They are always up there. And i guess not saying that they will retain their title is all i am going to bank on. They are definitely a really good team with Sir Ferguson with tonnes of experience and expertise.
Player to step up: Wayne Rooney. Clearly overshadowed by Ronaldo last season. The bull-wonder boy needs to punish defences more and use the attention paid to Ronaldo to improve his goal tally from last season.
New signing to watch: Most would say Hargreaves who is definitely a great midfield enforcer but i feel Nani should get some attention. Definitely bought to replace the aging Giggs sooner rather than later and if Ferguson can cultivate him like Ronaldo; Man Utd could be devastating.
United are definitely a very fluid team that beats opposition with style and even their central defence is stylish. Vidic and Ferdinand command the backline well and Utd need this backbone to keep their title. However i feel they will just be pipped by Chelsea who will have slightly more desire. And United have mainly signed younger players to make sure they will always be in the top 3 for many years to come. Next season though i feel Chelsea's effeciency will prove vital.
