Manchester United have been in and out of the Champions League for the last few years due to inconsistency in the Premier League.

Their legend, Rio Ferdinand, has made his top four prediction and made a controversial pick.

Competition for a Champions League spot has intensified in the Premier League, with several teams fighting for the four places.

After Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, the club has not played in Europe's premier competition regularly.

Ferdinand's top four prediction

Prominent pundit Gary Neville backed the Red Devils to finish fourth this season, and his former Man United teammate Rio Ferdinand also expects his former team to make it.

“With that being said, where would you put us at the end of the season? What are you going for? I went for a top four of Arsenal, City, Liverpool and then us, United, in that order,” he said via Football365.

Man City have been backed to win a historic fifth Premier League title in a row. The Gunners have challenged them in the last two seasons but have fallen short.
