Everton boss Martinez: Man Utd will challenge for title next season

Everton boss Roberto Martinez sees Manchester United as title challengers next season.

Martinez still puts them in the fight for fourth, even though United are 10 points adrift of current incumbents Arsenal with only five games to play.

And asked if he expected United to be in the mix next season, the Toffees boss said: "You have to because of the history, the finances, the expectations.

"Manchester United will finish the season strong, I've got no doubts about that. Their next few games, I'm sure they're going to fight for a European place and to finish as high as they can.

"Even at this stage, they should be fighting for fourth place. It's ingrained in the DNA of Manchester United. It's not in doubt that they will be doing that and they will be challenging for the title next season.

"I expect Spurs as well to be fighting for the top four. When we started the season there were six football clubs who purely down to the finances were forced to fight for the title. We gatecrashed the party."
