Gary Neville rates Man United top 4 chances

Neville is now confident that his former side are in a pole position to seal a Champions League spot at the end of the season.

According to the legendary defender, the Red Devils have a great chance of finishing ahead of rivals Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur.

"I think they’ve got a great chance of finishing in the top-four now, a great chance," Neville told Sky Sports.
"There’s enough going on at Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham for United to feel confident that they can push through that bunch. I never would have thought that four or five weeks ago," he added.
