Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has predicted that Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
Klopp has told Liverpool’s official website that Manchester United will get the job done in the final games of the season and finish in the UEFA Champions League places.
Manchester United are fourth in the league table at the moment with 63 points from 33 matches.
Newcastle United are third with 65 points from 33 games.
Liverpool are now in fifth with 59 points from 34 matches.

Klopp said: “We have 59 [points], United has 63. So, we can get 71 maximum. United needs for that eight points in five [games] from 15 points. I think they will do that, to be honest. If they win three games of the rest then that’s it for us.”
Potential chance for Liverpool
In our view, Liverpool could still finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
Yes, Newcastle United and Manchester United seem to have sewn up the final two UEFA Champions League places after Arsenal and Manchester City, but you just never.
We saw Manchester United lose against Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday evening.
What if the Red Devils drop points in their two games and Liverpool win both of their next two matches?
Things could get very tight in the final two rounds of matches in the Premier League table this season.
Liverpool should not give up hope just yet.
