Manchester United legend Roy Keane has predicted where his former side will end up in the Premier League this season.



United opened their 2023/24 campaign against Wolves at Old Trafford, with manager Erik ten Hag making Andre Onana and Mason Mount debuts.


However, the first half didn't go as planned as United were unable to penetrate Wolves' defence while missing opportunities on the other end.


After the first half, Matheus Cunha should have put the visitors ahead when his volley hit the post from close range.

The Wolves players looked set to be constantly moving United's midfield during the second half, which is bound to affect Ten Hag into the first weekend of the season. But they won 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from Raphael Varane, despite a controversial decision to deny Wolves a late penalty.


Before the game, Keane predicted where he thinks United will end up in the Premier League this season - and that didn't give fans a good read.

Roy Keane makes a prediction about Man Utd in the Premier League



Keane said he thinks a title challenge is too far away for Ten Hag's side this season - unless Manchester City's form has fallen dramatically and injuries have increased compared to last season.


However, he added that he believes United will finish in the top four, but face some challenges to get there.


He explained (quoted via Metro):

“No, I don't think so [United challenge for title]. I just think it's hard to get past Man City.

"Again, I've said it before, unless they're really down and get injured and lose their hunger, then I think the other teams have a chance.


"United will be in the top four. Arsenal have improved, look at Newcastle. Aston Villa will react well [to Saturday's loss to Newcastle]. Obviously Liverpool and Chelsea.


"For many of these teams, the goal is to get into the top four, and it's the same for United."
