Manchester United legend Roy Keane is expecting his former club to finish above Arsenal in the Premier League table.

Erik ten Hag’s side closed the gap to the Gunners to three points after the 3-1 win against the London club on Sunday and, speaking after the game, Keane says he is confident that the Red Devils will have the better season out of the two teams:

“I think United will search for the top four. I think they’ve got a settled group now. New manager settling in. United for me [above Arsenal].”

After a disastrous start to the campaign, which saw ten Hag lose his first two competitive games in charge, United have got back on track with four straight victories.

Based on the performance at the weekend, though, there is still a lot of work to do to ensure this team finishes in the top four. They may have beaten Arsenal but they were on the back foot for long spells of the match.

Ten Hag will be keen to impose his style of play on the team as the season progresses but recent results do give him a platform to build on.
