Pellegrini states whether Manchester United can win title

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has stated that rivals Manchester United could still conceivably win the Premier League title this season after recent improved form.

The Red Devils have had an up-and-down campaign, with Louis van Gaal under pressure to deliver Champions League football at Old Trafford.

After poor form that had the Dutchman’s role at the club under question, a couple of wins in a row have put United back in contention.

Pellegrini’s side have lost against Leicester, Spurs and Liverpool in their last three Premier League games which has put serious question marks over their ability to be crowned English champions.

The Chilean manager has opened up on the respective hopes of the Manchester teams.

Pellegrini has stated that both sides could well win the league given the unpredictability of this season so far.

“In the Premier League nothing is inconceivable,” Pellegrini is quoted as saying by The Guardian.

“Every year you have more stronger teams so everything can happen in the Premier League. [But] if I say that, you will put that City will not finish in the top four … I’ve always said that we are going to finish fighting for the title.”

“I said before that when it is mathematically possible to win the title, a club like Manchester United will always have the option, the same as West Ham, the same as Manchester City and other clubs because we need to play for another 30 points,

“It’s a lot of points and I don’t think that the gap can’t be reduced in these 10 games. If you go now to Leicester, last season, I think that they won 18 from 18 or 19 from 21 so be careful. Nothing is finished this season.”

City need to beat Aston Villa this weekend to get back in amongst the division’s frontrunners, while United will hope to continue recent momentum.
