The Red Devils had a chance to cement their place in fourth on Saturday, February 26, but fluffed that opportunity when they played relegation-battlers, Watford.

Speaking after United's draw with the Hornets, Wright maintained the Red Devils have an advantage over his former side in the top-four race.

This is despite the north Londoners being on an upward trajectory and having three matches in hand.

In his analysis, Wright was cautious over Arsenal’s chances of finishing ahead of United as he believes Ralf Rangnick’s side are not taking full advantage of their performances.

"Arsenal are going to have to do a lot to try and stay where they are,’ Wright told Premier League Productions," he pointed out.

"When you look at Man United and what they can do, and what they’re not taking advantage of, that’s a game they should win today [against Watford], no problem.
