‘Man Utd legend’ bombshell: “Man Utd will not be in the top 5 this season”
British media 'Goal.com' reported on the 9th (Korean time), 'Gary Neville boldly predicted that Manchester United will finish outside the top five of the Premier League at the end of the 2023/24 season.'
Manchester United finished third with 75 points last season, returned to the Champions League, and won the Carabao Cup, winning their first major championship in six years. In addition, they prepared to go even higher this season by signing Andre Onana, Mason Mount, Rasmus Høirun, etc., who were in positions of need in this summer transfer market.
However, Manchester United is currently recording disastrous results. They remain in 10th place with only 12 points from 8 games. In particular, the number of goals conceded is too high. They have scored 9 goals and conceded 12 goals in the league, and are the only team in the top 10 to have a goal difference of -.
It is also a problem in the Champions League. Manchester United is in last place in the group with two consecutive losses, losing to Galatasaray and Bayern Munich. In particular, they are recording 7 goals in 2 games, including 4 goals against Munich and 3 goals against Galatas
Speaking on Sky Sports' podcast, Neville said he did not expect the situation to get any better. He said: "I don't think Manchester United will be in the top five this season. I think they are out of it."
“Even 7-8 weeks ago, we expected third place, but honestly, looking at the current situation, it seems like the goalkeeper hasn’t settled in, and he should have prevented the goal yesterday, but that seems to be the problem. If the goalkeeper can’t settle in and looks unstable, it’s a big problem. “It can be. I had that experience at Manchester United,” he said.
