Premier League cult hero tips Manchester United to win the title

Michail Antonio thinks Manchester United could win the Premier League title…
According to a report from BBC Sport, West Ham United star Michail Antonio has tipped Manchester United to win the league. He pointed out that with the momentum they have at the moment, he wouldn’t be surprised to see them overtake Man City, with just three points separating the Manchester rivals.
To say it’s a wayward shout would be a discredit to Manchester United, who have shown great form since returning to the Premier League after the World Cup. Players such as Marcus Rashford are paving the way for the Red Devils to win most matches.
Manchester United play in the most important match of their season so far tonight against Barcelona. The Europa League tie currently stands at 2-2, but in the second leg tonight, United have the home advantage.
Then, three days later, Erik ten Hag will manage his team in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United. Therefore, they have the opportunity to be the first English side to pick up some silverware this season, which could ultimately inspire them in the Premier League.
When you ask someone about the Premier League title race, they are likely to choose between Arsenal and Manchester City. It’s understandable, considering the English top flight has often involved a two-horse race over the last few seasons.
This could actually benefit United, though. They are the underdogs, but they aren’t far off competing for the Premier League title. If they keep up their form, they’re doing all that’s possible on their end and you wouldn’t bet against the two teams above them dropping points.
Manchester United fans will hope Michail Antonio is speaking in front of a crystal ball.
