Paul Merson has backtracked on his pre-season prediction for the Premier League top four - but still can’t find room for Manchester United.
Under Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils got off to the worst possible start, losing their opening two league encounters, including a thrashing at the hands of Brentford. But since then, United have won four games in a row, beating Liverpool and Arsenal in the process.
Despite that upturn in form, Merson believes it will be Tottenham and Arsenal who join Manchester City and Liverpool in next season’s Champions League.
