Liverpool legend John Aldridge can't see Manchester United finishing in the top four this season.

Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: "When I saw them signing Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a few more big names last summer, I suspected Mourinho and United would be right in the mix to win the title.

"Now I'm not so sure and at this moment I wouldn't put too much money on United finishing in the top four.

"These are early days in the campaign – and you tend to change your opinion every week as teams settle down after a summer of changes at so many of the top clubs – but I wonder just how long Mourinho needs to get United moving forward.

"The other issue for me with Mourinho is that he looks miserable on the touchline and doesn't seem to be getting any enjoyment out of his work any more.

"That kind of attitude can rub off on players and as we saw at Chelsea last season, a fed up manager can quickly lead to a set of fed up players."
