Manchester United legend Gary Neville has admitted he could see a way back for his old club in the race to finish in the top four this season.
Speaking after yesterday’s 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, Neville said he didn’t fully trust Arsenal, despite the Gunners currently looking in a stronger position to qualify for the Champions League.
Arsenal won 3-2 away at Watford, while Man Utd were beaten at the Etihad Stadium, which means Mikel Arteta’s side are now a point ahead of the Red Devils, whilst also having three games in hand.
We’ve seen Arsenal throw away promising leads a few times before, however, so it’s intriguing to note that Neville hasn’t entirely given up on United just yet…
Gary Neville on Arsenal’s top four hopes:
? “I still think Man United could do it, I don’t trust Arsenal fully, I think it would be brilliant for Mikel Arteta and those young players. They’ve been fantastic.”

United were poor against City yesterday, but they’ve generally shown some improvement since Ralf Rangnick took over as interim manager, so this difficult fixture shouldn’t necessarily be taken as too representative of how the team are doing.
Arsenal will finish ahead of manchester united just because man-u is not consistent enough and their defence is not stable compared to Arsenal.to make it worst,manchester united is loosing points against weak teams which will make top four for them complicated.to me I think its totenham hotspurs competing for top four not man-u becuse even spurs have games in hand against man-u.if spurs could improve on their defence,then they have top four hope than man-united
Man u is not going anywhere yes there formar old boy player predicted that he did not trust arsenal but let’s me tell him arsenal of yesterday is not the arsenal of today arsenal have changed with what we are seeing right now with our new couch and couches I personally see arsenal making it at the top 4 level
Don’t mind that idiot!!! They are pissed we keep on winning.
Patriotic or no patriotic Arsenal now have their own destiny in there hand they are no longer waiting when a club will loose so that they can climb now what they need is consolidate there position by organization trying to be hard and avoid collecting unnecessary cards by so doing top 4 is achievable what Arteta need to do now on those big teams he can play 5 defenders to stop them if he has not been practicing it let him start now so they can master it they must focus and be dedicated to the game till the last whistle of the referee as I wish them success
