Manchester United have been consistent of late and are already getting tagged as ‘title challengers’. Phil Neville has his say on that.
Phil Neville believes Manchester United can sustain a title challenge through to the end of the season after their display against Wolves.
The Red Devils moved up to second in the Premier League standings after securing a 1-0 win over Wolves at Old Trafford in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side struggled to break down a well organised Wanderers defence over the course of the 90 minutes. David De Gea also made a number of saves to keep his side in the game.
Rashford won all three points or United with a late strike that could prove to be vital in the title race. Questions continue to be asked but some believe the Red Devils could genuinely be in the running for the title.
Ole Solskjaer has played down his side’s title challenge but Phil Neville believes his former side are in a good position to go neck to neck with Liverpool for the title.
“I think they can [challenge for the title],” the former United midfielder told Amazon Prime Video after the Wolves victory.
“I think what you’ve got to do when you’re looking at a title race is look at the competition.”
“Liverpool are out in front and rightly so, I think they’re the best team in the country. But there is no other team that is actually grasping to go and challenge Liverpool.”
“Chelsea have slipped up, Tottenham have slipped up recently, Everton are up there who are in really good form. Apart from that, Manchester City are just climbing.”
“United are in this title race if they keep to this level of performance. They’re playing better football, they’re entertaining, they’re starting to win at home. They’ve got a big squad, they’re scoring goals.”
United are yet to win the title since 2013 and it would be interesting to see how the season ends with regards to their ‘title charge’.
