Chris Sutton has predicted United will draw tonight’s game against Brentford. Writing in his BBC Sport column, he believes the Reds’ inconsistent form could point towards yet another draw.
He said: “Manchester United have become a bit unpredictable recently and Michael Carrick is another manager who could do with having a strong end to the season.
“Still, it looks like Carrick has secured Champions League football, so if the club’s owners are still deciding about who will be in charge next season then he has done a more than steady job so far. It feels like he has passed his audition and also that he has a bit of clout.
“I would not like to predict what will happen about his future, though, and I am not sure how this game will go either. It should be close, and it could be quite open too. Brentford will fancy their chances after beating United 3-1 earlier in the season – and also from seeing how easily Leeds carved them open at Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago.
“Igor Thiago scored twice against United in the reverse fixture, and he might cause them a problem or two again. The Bees just keep on drawing games at the moment, though, so I’ve really got to go for another draw here, haven’t I?”
