The Red Devils have climbed up to the Premier League’s third spot in recent weeks.
Andrew Cole believes Manchester United don’t have a real chance of winning the Premier League this season.
The Red Devils claimed their first trophy under Erik ten Hag by beating Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. Ten Hag’s men are still competing in both Europa League and the FA Cup.
In the Premier League, a brilliant run of results has secured United’s third place on the table. The Red Devils are eight points behind leaders Arsenal.
But Cole believes the current forms of the Gunners and Manchester City don’t leave a chance for Man Utd to win their first league title since 2013.
In an interview with Stats Perform, the former Man Utd star said: “If you look at the teams in front of them in Manchester City and Arsenal, Manchester City would have to capitulate and so would Arsenal.
“Man City’s form has been very indifferent this season and Arsenal at the present moment are scratching through and getting results.
“So for Man United to win the league, those teams would have to capitulate and Manchester United would have to win virtually every game from now until the end of the season.
“That is a tall order, especially with the games coming up.
“I’d be very happy for us to finish in the top four which we have a great chance of doing. We’re still in Europa League, we are still in the FA Cup and then go from there.
“But I think if you set the priorities at the start of the season, to talk about winning the league, everyone would have said, ‘Nah you’re mad, actually mad, not a chance.’ So what’s changed?”
