Neville still believes Man Utd WILL finish fourth despite slipping behind Arsenal but says it hinges on one key clash

GARY NEVILLE says Manchester United WILL finish fourth but believes they MUST beat Tottenham next week.

And the Sky Sports pundit does not reckon Arsenal will have what it takes to reach the Champions League.

This is despite the Gunners moving back into fourth spot following their 3-2 win at Watford on Sunday.

Meanwhile, United were thrashed 4-1 by rivals Manchester City and while Neville ridiculed the performance and lack of effort on display from the Red Devils, he still tipped them for the top four after the match.

Nev said on Sky Sports: “I still think United could [get fourth place]. I don’t trust Arsenal fully.

“Manchester United have still got to go to Arsenal, there’s a long way to go.”

Neville said that “United have got to beat Tottenham next week,” to which Keane replied: “It’s only Spurs.”

But colleague Micah Richards pointed out that the momentum is with Arsenal, who have lost just one of their last ten Premier League matches – and that came against City.

Arteta’s side have won four on the bounce but still have tests against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham to come.

They sit six points ahead of rivals Spurs and one ahead of United despite playing three games less, so they are certainly in the driving seat as things stand.

The Gunners will be able to concentrate fully on the league too having been knocked out of the FA Cup – United, by contrast, will be hoping to make the quarter-final of the Champions League after drawing 1-1 at Atletico Madrid last month.
