Manchester United legend Gary Neville has tipped the Red Devils to finish within a Champions League spot.
Neville spoke and gave his opinion after United’s victory against Bournemouth.
United emerged 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford.
The 20-time English champions are now a point behind Manchester City and level with Newcastle with one game less.
Neville commented that he would be surprised if United did not finish in the top four and praised Erik ten Hag’s men for their excellent performances.
The former defender was asked if his former club will finish in the top four. He responded by saying, “Yes. But still, there are only 17 games left, a long way to go, anything can happen.”
Neville attributed United’s remarkable turnaround in fortunes to the players coming together and forming close relationships after the Cristiano Ronaldo saga.
The Sky Sports pundit opined that after Ronaldo’s poisonous interview with Piers Morgan, the United players came together and came out stronger.
“I think getting over the situation with Cristiano, getting over the situation with (Harry) Maguire and getting over the difficult start.”
“Everyone has come together more than they would have with an ordinary or normal start. Ten Hag is now in a strong position to make the decisions, but they need a striker.”
United are in an open search for a striker to enter. Ten Hag himself, as alluded to by Neville, has repeatedly said that he needs attack reinforcements.
United have recently been linked with the likes of Kolo Muani, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, and Marcus Thuram, who also plies his trade in Germany.
