Jason Cundy, a former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs footballer, and talk sports radio broadcaster believed Manchester United is just too fragile to lift the Premier League in front of Arsenal.

The Brit is known for his trash-talking across the world and he is at it again after deliberately pulling the triggers against Red Devils despite their red-hot outings and winning form.
“Man United can go on a run but they’re not brilliant, are they? What can they do? Can they win the Championship? No, they can’t. They are just a good team. There are so many.”- Cundy said while in a broadcasting event.
Manchester United won the last thirteen outings on home turf, Rashford has basically exploded post-World Cup after netting more goals than Chelsea since the restart.

However, these hammering performances are not enough to impress Cundy as he added, “You can do it for a few weeks, tides are on your way. Can you do it for more than two months? I think they can’t.”
Cundy put his bet on Arsenal who are dangerous this season after topping the table for most of the campaign and it looked like a perfect season for the Gunners since they lifted the Premier League trophy back in 2003/04.

Arsenal was invincible that season under Arsene Wenger. They are not successful in that pedigree of course, but the way they turned the tide into their side this time around is surely a tale to tell.
“I’ve seen Arsenal Football Club, Under Mikel (Arteta) and they are the best team in the country. The league table tells you that. Nobody is near to their standard. I love to see them playing. So, they win the league.”- Former Stamford Bridge and White Heart Lane player further added.

Still, there is a lot of football to be played indeed and the night could change in a flash as Man Utd will push Arsenal from behind as forcefully as they can, it is promised to be one heck of a title race.
