Roy Keane has predicted that Arsenal will struggle to earn a top four spot this season due to Manchester United’s increased quality.
The Gunners missed out on a Champions League spot earlier this year with a series of slip-ups during the run-in. They finished 11 points ahead of sixth-placed United but both will play Europa League football next season.
Many have been impressed by Erik ten Hag’s work so far at Old Trafford and believe he has set himself up well to challenge for a top four place this term. The additions of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez have been commended, as has his tactical approach.
