The last time Manchester United won the EPL silverware was the 2012-13 season. They had the killer instincts of Robin van Persie leadership of Ryan Giggs, young legs of Ashley Young, and the finest man-management the football world has ever seen by Sir Alex Ferguson. Since then, they have occasionally threatened the cup defenders by finishing top two or top three but have never tasted the beer on-field post the 38th match. This season the long wait might come to an end.
Here are the three reasons Manchester United may finish at the top of the table this season:

Paul Pogba redefining the art of few but impactful touches

‍
Few will disagree that Pogba has finally started to deliver what everyone has had expected from the 27-year-old WorldCup-winning Frenchmen. Going by the numbers might paint a different story as his number of touches, passes are nowhere close to top charts but the discipline Paul showed in the midfield along with his defensive skills have suddenly started to make the team worthy enough to carry the name "The Red Devils". Not to mention his yards away goals in the backyards of the opponents is what makes him special.

Bruno Fernandes bringing the perfect mixture of calm and aggression

‍
The Portuguese has made a habit of grabbing the "Player of the month" title since his arrival to the club and league. His impact on the club has been larger than life and has played a crucial role in providing the right impetus to the players around him which in turn aggregated to the momentum that they carry at this mid point of the season.

Leadership of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

‍
Ole Gunnar has been extremely patient in the last few months and have been crafting this team with his logical signings and have earned the trust of the pack which is now coming to fruition. He genuinely takes interest in everyone's professional and personal life. His modus operandi has been plain and simple, to help players to become better, and that way he gets what he needs.
