Former Arsenal full back Nigel Winterburn believes Manchester United are hot favourites to win the English Premier League title.
Speaking before yesterday’s one all draw against Liverpool at the Emirates, the Englishman explained that the Gunners need to win all their remaining games to stand a chance of ending their six-year trophyless crisis as he added that Manchester United’s consistency could help them keep the top position until the very end.
The 47-year also declared that Arsenal have to believe in themselves but that even in that case there must be a “massive collapse” from the Red Devils to see the Gunners cut the gap at the top and leapfrog Alex Ferguson’s men for the title.
On Sunday, Arsenal have yet again failed to get all three points at the Emirates stadium as they registered their seventh non-win result at home and are now six points from the top with only six games to go.
Speaking to talkSport, Winterburn said:
I would think they are going to have to win every single game until the end of the season. Even then Manchester United are the big favourites because of their consistency this season.
In these these last two or three weeks they’re starting to come into their best form so it’s a daunting task for Arsenal to overcome them.
If you’re in the situation Arsenal are in you’ve got to believe you can win the title and Arsenal will believe that but you would say Manchester United will have to have a massive collapse.
