Don't get me wrong, I think we'll have a bit of a step back eventually and we may not be setting the world on fire, but the "barely winning" games thing has always been odd to me. Other than a couple of spells, we dominated Fulham. The results, especially away from home, have become moreso about them doing consistently enough to win, rather than blow it and draw / lose late on. I've always been critical of United regardless of how their form is because there's so many aspects I feel we need to improve on, but at the end of the day, almost a calendar year unbeaten away in the prem, and 3 losses total in the league after Bruno arrived is quite a long stretch for just an implied fortunate run of barely getting results.
Good teams have to win close games. For all the games that City blows opponents out of the water, you have to win those close games to stand a chance and stay in the race against them. I guess I don't see it as much of a knock on a team, regardless of who. Especially with a race as close as it currently is and involving a number of teams.
