Premier League legend makes top-four prediction after crucial weekend wins for Man United, Spurs, and Arsenal

• Manchester United are among at least five clubs eyeing a top-four finish at the end of the ongoing season
• Others include Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves, and West Ham who dropped points against Newcastle United
• Despite the evident stiff competition in the race to qualify for the Champions League, Keane contends United have what it takes to seal a spot

Premier League legend Roy Keane has backed Manchester United to secure a top-four finish at the end of the season.

United are among five teams in a pole position to seal the final Champions League spot following a competitive campaign.

Man City, Liverpool, and Chelsea look set to seal the top three slots in the division, leaving the fourth place up for grabs.

Top-four race heating up

Man United are currently placed fourth on the log after match-week 26, with the side enjoying a four-point advantage over fifth-placed West Ham United.

The Red Devils cemented their spot in fourth after their 4-2 thrilling win over Leeds United on Sunday, February 20, at Elland Road.

However, Ralf Rangnick's charges must be wary of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the race to qualify for the Champions League after both teams also won their fixtures.

While United are enjoying a four-point advantage over the Gunners and a seven-point advantage over Spurs - it must be factored that the two London teams have three matches in hand.

Roy Keane's prediction

Be that as it may, Keane contends United have what it takes to beat Arsenal and Tottenham to a top-four finish.

According to the ex-Red Devils captain, his former side can qualify for Europe's elite football competition if they stay focused.

"I think United will be fine for fourth, I really do. There’s been lots of noises about players wanting to leave, contract situations with Pogba and Jesse Lingard, and people like that," Keane told Sky Sports.

"Focus on the next few months, big few months for Man United, try and get fourth," he added.

Man United legend land coaching job

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Championship side, Reading, have named Man united legend Paul Ince as their new manager in an interim capacity.

Ince landed the exciting role following the sacking of Veljko Paunovic, who was shown the door despite winning at Peterborough on Saturday, February 19.

The ex-Premier League star has not managed any side since he left Blackpool in 2014.
