Paul Robinson, a BBC Sport pundit, has cast doubt on Manchester United’s chances of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League, favoring Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa instead.
Contrary to Gary Neville’s assertion that both Tottenham and Aston Villa would feel the pressure from Manchester United, Robinson believes United’s recent surge in form does not guarantee them a Champions League place, given their overall season performance.
Robinson acknowledged Manchester United’s defensive improvement and increased goal-scoring prowess in recent matches but emphasized that their historical season-long form is yet to prove their consistency and collective strength.
While acknowledging Manchester United’s presence in the conversation for the fourth-place race, Robinson identified Aston Villa and Tottenham as the favorites due to their overall performance throughout the season.
Aston Villa, in particular, poses a significant challenge to Tottenham’s Champions League aspirations, as both clubs vie for a coveted top-four finish.
Despite Manchester United’s ability to grind out results in recent matches, Robinson suggests that Tottenham and Aston Villa remain formidable contenders in the race for Champions League qualification.
As the battle for a top-four finish intensifies, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham must strive for more consistent performances to overcome the challenges posed by Aston Villa and Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification.
