Tim Sherwood has explained why he believes Manchester United will finish above Arsenal in the Premier League this season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Red Devils have endured a poor start to the 2019-20 campaign and find themselves tenth after seven fixtures with just nine points.
Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Unai Emery’s Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday evening in a game which highlighted both teams’ struggles.
Arsenal are currently fourth in the top-flight on 12 points but former Tottenham boss Sherwood expects Manchester United to finish above the Gunners this term.
Asked which club is more likely to finish in the top four, Sherwood told talkSPORT: ‘To answer your question: I would probably say, at the death, United when they get some bodies fit.
‘I’m not being biased [against Arsenal]; it’s 50/50 if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t want to put any of my pounds on it and I wouldn’t want to put your money on it.
‘But I just think it might be Manchester United with the pace they have and their counter attack, and I think it might be a bit more solid with their defence.
‘I think they might just edge it with what they’ve got on the counter and what they’ve got defensively. And the goalkeeper is top-drawer.’
Sherwood expects defending champions Manchester City and current Premier League leaders Liverpool to draw away from their rivals again this term.
He added: ‘Frank [Lampard] is rebuilding at Chelsea. It’s a real shame but it’s a transition period for all three clubs [Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.
‘I would say, Tottenham included, come out from Man City and Liverpool and they’ve all gone the wrong way.
‘No one is getting closer; it’s difficult getting closer but I think they’ve all deteriorated somewhat. It’s definitely looking like a two-horse race now.’
