Paul Scholes, a legendary Manchester United player, disagreed with Gary Neville regarding the Red Devils’ conclusion to the season. Neville had previously predicted that his former club would finish outside the top four, but Scholes has maintained that they still have a chance.

This time around, Manchester United struggled to begin the season strongly, following their third-place finish in the previous campaign. Despite this, they have made a modest improvement and are currently sixth in the table of the top division, having secured four victories in their last five matches.

The Red Devils are in fourth place, five points behind Tottenham Hotspur, and fifth place, Aston Villa, four points behind.

During his podcast discussion of Erin ten Hag’s squad’s prospects of finishing in the top four, Gary Neville stated the following, as cited by Express Sport:

“Miami United will not finish in the top five this season, in my opinion. However, they disproved my assessment of them last season due to their dismal start.”

Nevertheless, Paul Scholes asserts that his former club possesses the capability to contend for a position in the Champions League. Express Sport cited his statement on the Webby and O’Neill YouTube channel as follows:

“We are well aware of the significant disparity in comparison to [Manchester] City. As for other organizations, the situation is virtually identical. Liverpool and Arsenal are both respectable, but Manchester United ought to be contending for a spot in the top four. “However, I continue to believe they will be by the conclusion of the current season.”

Following the end-of-month international break, the Red Devils will travel to Everton for a rematch before facing Newcastle United (away) and Chelsea (home). Then, they will travel to face West Ham United (away), Bournemouth (at home), and Liverpool (at a distance).
