Petit: United and Liverpool Have No Hope for Top Four

Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit expressed his belief that Manchester United and Liverpool will struggle to qualify for the Champions League this season, stating they have “no hope.” Manchester United has secured only one victory in their first four Premier League matches, suffering defeats against Hull City and Manchester City. In contrast, Liverpool, under new manager Andoni Iraola, remains unbeaten but has drawn three of their four matches, including a goalless draw against Fulham.

Petit noted that both clubs are conceding too many goals and lack key players, making it difficult to see them as favorites for a top-four finish. He suggested that while they might compete for the final Champions League spot, that position could be claimed by another team, with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea likely ahead of them.

Petit made these comments during an interview with BOYLE Sports.
