Still a lot of work to do for Guardiola and Mourinho

At the start of the season, especially after the £89m arrival of Paul Pogba, most Premier League fans would have thought that both Manchester United and Manchester City were title contenders.

However, while Chelsea lifted the trophy, the two Mancunian clubs finished third and sixth.

Pep Guardiola appears to have gone throughout the season without much criticism, while Mourinho has to face the brunt of ‘failure’.

There is no denying that both clubs should have done far better than what they achieved this season, but that will not hamper their chances of bringing in a world-class talent this summer.

Both United and City are backed by an enormous amount of wealth and will not be hesitant in spending hundreds of millions of pounds this summer. They will do what is needed to be done in order to find their way back to Premier League glory.
