Their Sunday fixture against Liverpool is another hurdle the Red devils will need to cross going forward as they aim to challenge for the top 4 and as well the Premier League title..
The Premier League title race has become more interesting with Manchester United’s resurgence. Manchester City and Arsenal are the two teams that are currently leading the pack, but Manchester United has shown they are not to be overlooked. The Premier League title race is still far from over, with several games left to be played.
Speaking about the Premier League title race, the Spaniard told BT Sport: “They [Manchester United] are back.
“I said two or three months ago [Man] United is back. For many reasons, their body language when they celebrate goals, their commitment, and how they run for each other, whereas in the past, it was not like that.
“You feel that this is United. Sooner or later, they should be back. The strangest thing of the last seven or eight years was that they were not there.”
