Paul Ince has reminded Manchester United that the race for top four is not yet over with Liverpool making up ground.
Thursday’s 1-0 defeat to Brighton means United sit in fourth, just four points above Liverpool although they have a game in hand. Meanwhile the Seagulls themselves are eight points adrift of the four top four but have two games in hand. United are still favourites to qualify for the Champions League along with Newcastle with five Premier League matches left to play.
A trip to West Ham is next with Wolves, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Fulham their remaining opponents. Speaking on Sky Sports, Ince warned United that the race for the Champions League is not yet over and Liverpool may fancy their chances if Erik ten Hag cannot manufacture a win at the London Stadium on Sunday.
