Ferdinand: United are aiming for the top four, and the current state of the competitors is unstable

Tigers 20 Jan -- The competition for the top four in the Premier League this season has intensified with manchester United's increasing competition with Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham United. Lonnick's side scored three points against Brentford on Wednesday night to win the game 3-1 and are currently seventh with 35 points.

After the win over Brentford, Ferdinand and Sidwell spoke about the importance of being in the top four this season.

The former United defender said: "They need the result of the victory and now the goal is in the top four. But with Conte taking over, Spurs are still in a very strong position after the game.

Sidwell added: "The top four are absolutely necessary for United and they cannot fall from second to no Champions League. With a new manager in office, this is a huge opportunity. ”

Ferdinand believes this should not be a problem for United as the teams around them are destined to concede points. He said: "Manchester United are here for the top four, they have good games, they also have to take points from the teams they compete for, and among the teams around them, who is extremely accustomed to winning? Apart from Manchester City, there aren't many teams that can do that. ”
