Where Roy Keane thinks Manchester United will finish in Premier League this season

Roy Keane believes Manchester United can retain their top-four finish this season but warned against hopes of a Premier League title challenge.

United kick off their 2023/24 Premier League campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford tonight. Erik ten Hag will be in the dugout for his second season in M16 and will hope for an improvement on last season's start to the league campaign when they were humbled by Brighton and Brentford.

Despite the dismal start, Ten Hag guided United to third place, achieving his main objective of qualifying for the Champions League. The Dutchman also ended a six-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup.

United have since brought Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund to the club. All of United's rivals have also spent big in the transfer market, and though Keane believes a title challenge is out of the question, he has backed United to finish in the top four.

Asked if United could be the ones to challenge City for the Premier League title, Keane replied: “No, I don’t think so.

“I just think it’s so hard to see beyond Man City. Again, I’ve said before, unless they really drop off and get really bad injuries and lose that hunger, then I think the other teams have a chance.

“United will be top four, Arsenal have improved, look at Newcastle. Aston Villa will respond well to it (losing to Newcastle), obviously Liverpool and Chelsea, for a lot of them teams it’s about being top four and that’s the same for United.”
