Gary Neville says Manchester United distraction has harmed Premier League top-four chase

Gary Neville believes Manchester United’s manager search is having a detrimental effect on their chase for a top-four finish this season.

United remain in the hunt for a new manager, with Erik ten Hag emerging as the club’s preferred candidate in recent weeks. While the Ajax boss is seemingly now the favourite to become the Reds’ next permanent boss, Mauricio Pochettino remains in the running as a final decision is yet to be made.

On the pitch, United are still in a battle for a top-four finish, but their hopes are in danger of fizzling out before the end of the season. They find themselves three points behind Arsenal following their disappointing 1-1 draw with Leicester on Saturday, with the Gunners holding two games in hand.
