Gary Neville Predicts Where Man United Could Finish After Poor Start to the New Season

• Manchester United have endured a frustrating run of form so far this season
• United have won just four of their last eight fixtures, with their latest outing ending in a 2-1 hard-fought win over Brentford
• The Red Devils currently occupy 10th place in the standings with 12 points

Gary Neville has claimed Manchester United are unlikely to finish in the top five following their poor start to the new season.

The Red Devils have endured a frustrating run of form across competitions since the start of the new campaign, winning just four of their last eight league matches.

According to Metro UK, United have managed just four wins so far, with the difficult streak of form leaving them sitting 10th in the standings with 12 points.

At the continental stage, Erik ten Hag's charges are not finding it easy either, as they are currently bottom of Group A, having failed to pick up a single point so far.

However, the Old Trafford dwellers did have their mood lifted on Saturday after they secured a 2-1 hard-fought win over Brentford at home.

United looked set to lose the tie before Scott McTominay came off the bench to net twice in injury time to steer the Red Devils to victory.

Despite the encouraging victory, Neville does not see United sealing a Champions League spot at the end of the season.

According to the ex-defender, his former side is likely to finish outside the top five, citing Andre Onana's struggles as the limiting factor as they strive for positive results.

"I don’t think Manchester United will finish in the top five this season," he said on the Gary Neville Podcast.

"I think they are way off it. And I’m surprised because seven or eight weeks ago, I had them third, But honestly from what I see at the moment, I don’t think the goalkeeper is settled in, I think he should have saved the one yesterday so that is a problem," he added.
