'A big threat' - Harry Redknapp makes exciting Manchester United Premier League title prediction

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp believes Manchester United have what it takes to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

United, who brought their pre-season campaign to a close with a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin on Sunday, have aspirations of pushing for the title this term after achieving a third-placed finish last season. The club made significant progress under manager Erik ten Hag in his first season at the club and are determined to build on those foundations.

The Reds have strengthened their squad with three new additions so far this summer, all of whom have bolstered key areas within Ten Hag's ranks. Goalkeeper Andre Onana has arrived from Inter Milan, midfielder Mason Mount has checked in from Chelsea and striker Rasmus Hojlund sealed his move from Atalanta last weekend.

United, too, are refusing to close the door on the possibility of further additions, though outgoings are likely to dictate what else can be achieved between now and the window slamming shut on September 1. Nevertheless, Redknapp believes the Reds are a "big danger" to Manchester City and Arsenal this term.
