Harry Redknapp is confident that Manchester United will secure a fourth place in the Premier League this season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Red Devils are currently fifth on the table, but they are in a sensational race of form.
They have not lost in any competition since Bruno Fernandes signed for the club, and are now only two points behind Chelsea, who slipped against West Ham threatened with relegation last time.
United will face former Redknapp Bournemouth club over the weekend, and the former manger believes the Red Devils race will continue.
“I would be a fool if I said that I want to get a result from Bournemouth. I couldn’t choose many worse games to play at this stage of the season,” said Redknapp.

“Man United wants that fourth place.
“I think Leicester is starting to fight, now there is a real opportunity. They really hit a brick wall, didn’t they?”
Redknapp added to MUTV: “I certainly see United finishing in the top four this year.
“They are in shape, they are playing well, I can’t see them finish out of four. They could even finish third, I think, in the way it looks at the moment.

“Leicester is struggling. I never know what I will get with Chelsea and, as I said, I think Man United will end in the top four.
“I think United will be in the top four, I think they will continue.
“They’ve made a few purchases over the past year or so that have made a huge difference. [Bruno] Fernandes and Harry Maguire have given them a real backbone. [Aaron Wan-Bissaka]arrived and done well. “
