Gary Neville feels the top four is now out of reach for Manchester United. The Reds legend was critical of Ralf Rangnick's side as they laboured to a 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Saturday.
A "toothless" first half ended goalless before Fred cancelled out Kelechi Iheanacho's opener. The result leaves United one point behind fifth-placed Tottenham, having played a game more, and four points off fourth-placed Arsenal, who have two games in hand.
United play Arsenal on April 23 in a game which has been regarded in recent weeks as a must-win. But Neville had a blunt response when he was asked whether the Reds' top-four hopes were already over.

Neville told Sky Sports: “I think so. The run-in started today beyond the international break and obviously, they had to get off with a win, but they drew the game and the way they drew the game was really bad out there.
"I thought that the international break, even though some clubs are rusty after it when players have been away, might have worked for Manchester United and give them a break away from the club, come back and have a right go in these last nine games. It is not just going to be a case of thinking they will go under the radar.
"Everyone is watching; this is Manchester United. There is no hiding place.
"Those players are going to have to pick themselves up this week and get ready for the last eight matches, because it is going to be difficult if they continue in that vein of form. It was so flat."
