Mikel Arteta has expressed his belief that Manchester United still has a shot at the Premier League title, even though they are currently 15 points behind leaders Liverpool. The Arsenal manager, who understands the difficulties of keeping a competitive squad focused, highlighted that the season is far from finished and that unexpected results can dramatically change the standings.
United’s season has been characterized by inconsistency, but their recent performances indicate signs of improvement. Arteta pointed out that with the right mindset and tactical changes, Erik ten Hag’s team could potentially narrow the gap. He emphasized the need to stay focused and take it one match at a time, as the title race remains intensely competitive.
The Red Devils are also under pressure from teams vying for Champions League positions, currently sitting just four points away from the top four. This adds an extra layer of urgency to their campaign, as qualifying for Europe’s top competition next season is crucial for the club’s ambitions and financial health.
While Liverpool continues to lead, the unpredictability of the Premier League means that a strong comeback is always within reach. Arteta stressed that Manchester United must keep striving for consistency and make the most of their points in the upcoming matches to keep any hopes of a title challenge alive.
