Gary Neville has challenged Manchester United to finish in the Premier League's top four as they prepare to kick-off a 'new' season.
Due to a Covid-19 outbreak that also forced them to shut down their Carrington training ground, United take on Newcastle in what is their first Premier League outing since December 11.
In that time, Arsenal and Tottenham have underlined their own ambitions to qualify for the Champions League as each of them picked up three points — in convincing style — on Boxing Day.
However, after improving right at the start of Ralf Rangnick's tenure, there is no reason why United can't make up for lost ground and emerge as the main contenders to finish behind Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, according to former Old Trafford favourite Neville.
Speaking on Monday Night Football, pundit Neville said: "It feels like the season is restarting having been off for a few weeks. Ralf Rangnick has had a good start and has sorted that Man United defence out in many ways.
"They are nowhere near the title, but their aspirations have got to be to get in the top-four.
"They've got to try and grab Arsenal and Tottenham. I'm excited about tonight because there is a bit of uncertainty. Not playing for 16 days is really unique at this time of year."
