Dimitar Berbatov makes Manchester United Premier League top four prediction

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has given his verdict on the Premier League top four this season - and it's bad news for his ex-club.

United finished sixth place during the 2018/19 season to miss out on the Champions League while rivals Manchester City picked up back-to-back titles as they saw off fierce competition from Liverpool.

Chelsea and Tottenham completed the top four with Arsenal and United making do with Europa League football this season.

Berbatov is expecting similar in the 2019/20 campaign with Man United again missing out on a place in the Champions League.

"Unfortunately I need to say it but I think Manchester City will be champions again, then Liverpool. They are the top two," Berbatov told the Mirror .

"Then I think Spurs and then Chelsea. I say Chelsea because I saw them play under Frank Lampard and I like his philosophy a lot.

"And then of course you have the usual suspects, Arsenal and Man United.

"Hopefully we see someone from the rest of the pack - the other teams who are coming up. For example Wolves, I enjoyed watching them last season

"Hopefully there is no fatigue as they are playing in Europe."
