Man United are currently fifth on the Premier League table – one point behind Leicester City and right now, there’s a big chance that the Red Devils will be able to secure a Champions League spot by the end of the current season.
The Foxes take on Bournemouth on Sunday and the very next day, Man United will host Southampton at home. So if Brendan Rodgers’ men were to drop points vs the Cherries then Solskjaer’s men will have the chance of moving above Leicester City.
And according to pundit Gary Neville, the way his former side have been playing, they should be able to overtake the Foxes and secure a return to the top division in Europe.
The ex-Man United told Sky Sports: “Leicester have had a great season, for them to be in front of United at this stage is a great achievement.
“But you would be surprised if United didn’t go and follow this through. They’ve got a good run of fixtures and have got Leicester to play as well.
“United look so dominant at this moment in time. You’d almost like to see them playing the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City to see where they are, although that could come in the FA Cup and Europa League games.
“It’s been comfortable for United in recent weeks and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want those big tests because they look ready for them.
“They have looked so comfortable in games and they will go on to have a really good season.
“At times this season I wondered what was going to happen, but I think they will overtake Leicester and get into the Champions League, and they could even win a trophy with it all to play for in the two cup competitions they are still in.”
Man United are still alive in the Europa League so Solskjaer has more than one avenue of getting back into the Champions League next season but the manager will want to reach their target as soon as possible.
And they will get the perfect opportunity to overtake Leicester City once and for all as the two sides will take on each other during the final game of the Premier League season.
