Paul Ince believes that a better-protected Harry Maguire and a firing Cristiano Ronaldo can push Manchester United into the top four, and has backed the Red Devils to see off their rivals come the end of the season.
United were earmarked as favourites to clinch the all-important position before the winter break, but back-to-back draws with Southampton and Burnley have seen them fail to build a gap to their rivals.
West Ham, Arsenal, Tottenham and Wolves are all jostling for position in the race for European football, but United legend Ince believes that the Red Devils are still best placed to qualify for the Champions League.
