Rio Ferdinand believes that Manchester United are a shoo-in to finish in the top four this season after Sunday's victory over West Ham.
United beat their former boss David Moyes' side 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to a Marcus Rashford header. His winner would also be significant on a personal level for the striker, with the goal marking his 100th for the club.
It would end up being far from plain sailing for United towards the end of the clash, with the home side having to rely on some brilliant David de Gea saves to protect their lead. The result keeps United within touching distance of the Champions League spots, with the current top four sides in the league all winning over the weekend.

Erik ten Hag's team are now eight games unbeaten in all competitions, with the sobering defeat to Manchester City just under a month ago the last time they were beaten. As the race for a place in next season's Champions League hots up, Ferdinand has revealed whether he believes United will be dining at Europe's top table in the 2023/34 season.
Speaking on his Vibe with Five podcast, the former defender said: "It’ll be Arsenal, Man City and Man United, [they] are the three ones I’d put my house on now. And then the fourth one I can’t pick.
"Newcastle could come in and take it." The Reds are currently fifth in the table, a point behind Eddie Howe's men and three behind Tottenham Hotspur, but both Spurs and Newcastle have played a game more than Erik ten Hag's side.
