Gary Neville Warns Manchester United That Chelsea Could Win Easily on Thursday

• Former player turned pundit doesn't fancy Manchester united against Chelsea
• Manchester United's hopes of finishing in the top four fast dwindling after Arsenal defeat over the weekend
• Chelsea looking to cement their place in the top four

Gary Neville has warned Manchester United that Chelsea could have it 'easy' when the two sides clash this Thursday. Manchester United host Chelsea on the back of a poor run of form.

The Red Devil's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were dealt a major blow when they lost 3-1 to Arsenal over the weekend. That was United's third away loss after defeats at Everton and Liverpool.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville, a former United defender, thinks that it should be an easy run for the visitors.

They've lost their last two , there's an element of they've got to stop the wheels coming off. You see where they are in the table and they seem comfortable, they go to Old Trafford on Thursday. That should be an easy one, but if they were to lose at United on Thursday then they'll be dragged right into a big problem. They need to make sure they're professional.

Chelsea have been delivering a sharp mixture of results. They will however be buoyed with their away record. A late Christian Pulisic winner over the weekend against West Ham helped them pick their first win at home in four attempts.

Ralf Rangnick is seeing out the last days of his role as United's manager. Erik Ten Haag will be taking over as the head coach next season with Rangnick poised to be the technical director.

United are on 54 points, six behind Arsenal and a win against Chelsea could reinflate their Champions League push. Cristiano Ronaldo made his return to the squad to score the consolation goal against Arsenal.

Rangnick's problems will be on who to start at the heart of defence. David De Gea has been superb this season but has been undone by shoddy defending. Captain Harry Maguire has beared the brunt of United's shambolic defence.

The Sky Sports pundit has been consistent in his calls for United players to play like they belong.

The Blues will be looking to cement their place in the top four with an away win. The first leg ended in a one-all draw.

At the same time, Sports Brief reports that Ralf Rangnick has earmarked five players for sale this summer. Rangnick is unimpressed with the squad quality at United and will be looking to overhaul it ahead of Ten Haag's arrival.
