Jamie Carragher has warned Manchester United that Champions League qualification is not guaranteed and even had a cheeky dig at Gary Neville for his prediction about where they would finish in the Premier League table.
United still sit third in the standings, but losing 7-0 at Anfield and being held to a stalemate at home to Southampton this month means Newcastle United have now narrowed the gap to them. Only three points now separate Erik ten Hag's team and the side they beat in the Carabao Cup final, who are fifth.
Tottenham Hotspur occupy fourth place but have played one match more than both clubs directly above and below them. Liverpool are in sixth and find themselves five points further behind fifth after their defeat by Bournemouth last weekend.
