Former Premier League goalkeeper David James has sensationally claimed Manchester United could take advantage of the recent inconsistent form of Arsenal and Manchester City to win the title.
Considering their positions on the league table, it is widely accepted that either Arsenal or City will win the Premier League title.
However, both clubs have been struggling with consistency and United is gradually gaining ground on them at the top of the league table.
This is a clear sign that the Red Devils should be considered a threat and David insists they could beat the current leaders to the title before the season ends.
He said via The Sun:
“It’s so difficult to say and I don’t want to sound like a flag in the wind here, but Manchester United are probably the favourites at the moment to win the league with all the stuttering that Arsenal and Manchester City have been showing in recent weeks.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
David’s opinion might seem ridiculous, but it is accurate and we must remember that there are many more games left to play, so anything can still happen.
It would be challenging for United to break into the top two, but if they keep winning while City and we continue to drop points, it could all change.

Only read the headline.
They could as they are in a rich vein of form at present but so could a few other teams with 17(?) games still to go.
Utd are a serious threat, they began the season playing badly so to come back into a close race shows us they can put strong runs together, they are certainly a threat. Those two points we lost v Bre are bumming me out still, we would have held that healthy lead over city no matter what, things can change fairly fast so we need to really bring it one game at a time and hopefully get over our recent slump
Of course any team which can win the rest of there game’s has a chance , but every team has dips and United are due one , we’re just about over our’s and City haven’t showed the form that’s won them the title in the past so anything can happen.
I’d still rather be where we are than Utd.
of course they are in it, only five points back but we do have a game in hand. I think everyone else is too far though – 3 teams fighting for first three, 4 fighting for fourth and nine or ten in the relegation fight.
Exciting second half to be sure, only bad thing is that there aren’t many teams without something to fight for including glory or survival. Every game and every point will be key.
Everyone is dropping points, bottom feeders are stealing points from on high. Anything could happen but it is nice to be top!
You seem really vexed by this. Calm down and believe in your team rather than shouting at writers.
