Former Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has predicted that Manchester United won’t secure third place in the Premier League this season.
Speaking on Sky Sports after Erik ten Hag’s side defeated Fulham 1-0 in their season opener, Carragher commented on United’s prospects.
The victory came from an 88th-minute goal by summer signing Joshua Zirkzee.
Carragher believes the Red Devils will be battling for a spot in the Champions League rather than comfortably finishing third.
He stated: “Man Utd will not finish third, I can assure you of that. They will be in a fight with Tottenham, Villa, and Chelsea to secure a Champions League place.”
