Remains to be seen if Cahill starts for us in the new season, especially if we do land Stones. And what if Rooney's injured? Will Hernandez step up (that is if he even stays)? Di Maria's on a plane to Paris and Pedro will probably come in so it'll be interesting how that plays out. However if they do manage to land someone like Cavani in part exchange with Di Maria I'd agree with you. Di Maria may be the butt of jokes right now but let's not forget he still managed 10 assists in the league (joint 3rd highest) and will be a blow to them. That's more reasonable but my original reply was to Choulo who said they're favourites, no two ways about it.
