EPL: Nigel Winterburn predicts where Man Utd will finish this season

 

Former Arsenal defender, Nigel Winterburn has predicted the position Manchester United will finish this season in the English Premier League, EPL.

Man United are currently in the 4th position on the Premier League table with 14 points after seven matches.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side finished second on the Premier League table last season behind champions Manchester City.

But Winterburn expects Man United to miss out on the Premier League title this season.

According to him, the Red Devils are likely to finish behind Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in the table.

Speaking with Paddy Power, Winterburn said of Man United: “They are a bit slack when they lose the ball and make it too easy for the opposition. That is something a manager must instil in a team and Manchester United must improve the dirty side of their game.

“It will be interesting to see if Ole can get this group of players doing that moving forward. Ole knows that if he does not win every game, people will say he has not got enough experience and that a different manager would, but we don’t necessarily know that.

“Winning the league isn’t a foregone conclusion anymore like it used to be under Sir Alex. Manchester United were winning at home, so the Everton result has to be considered as dropped points.

“If they are going to be considered as a title-challenging side, this can’t continually happen, or they are going to come up short. I think they will come up short anyway. The other three top teams [Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool] will consistently dig out results when they need to.”
