Gary Neville Rates Manchester United’s PL Title Chances After Arsenal And Man City both lose

Former Man Utd player and football pundit Gary Neville insists it’s “not ridiculous to say” that Manchester United “could win” the Premier League title after Arsenal and Man City both lost over the weekend.

The Red Devils beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Saturday to close the gap on second-placed City to three points with Pep Guardiola’s side losing 1-0 to Tottenham the following day.

Arsenal and Manchester City both slipped up, but he feels it is still ‘too early’ for Erik ten Hag’s side to challenge.

The Gunners slipped to just their second defeat of the season as they were beaten 1-0 by Everton in Sean Dyche’s first game in charge at Goodison Park.

Manchester City then had the chance to cut Arsenal’s lead at the top of the table to just two points but lost by the same scoreline as Harry Kane became Tottenham’s all-time record goalscorer.’

While the title rivals suffered setbacks, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace at home to move to within five points of local rivals Manchester City and eight points of leaders Arsenal.

‘Are we in with a chance again?’ Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. ‘Look, I don’t think Manchester United will get there, I think they will fall short.

‘They’re just not quite there and the Christian Eriksen injury will hurt, but they’re doing really, really well and they’re competing again.

‘They look happy too and that’s a really big thing. You need that. From that point of view United are doing well.

‘It’s not ridiculous to say they could win the title. I don’t think they will and I’ve never thought they will this season because it’s a bit early for that but I would be getting worried if I was Manchester City.

‘The fans will start getting worried now with the way they’re playing and the way Pep Guardiola is tinkering with the team. United looks a happy bunch, City look a bit moody and need to come out of that spell.

‘Man City could easily still win the league but Man United are in a good position too.’

The Red Devils are in a strong position to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League and will face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
