Liverpool legend John Aldridge sees Manchester United finishing in the top three under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Aldridge says United now look a better proposition than Tottenham.

"We all said for a long time that Mourinho was holding back this United squad and everything we have seen from them since Solskjaer came in has confirmed that," Aldridge told Independent.ie.

"United have some great attacking players in their squad and Mourinho had destroyed their confidence with his negative tactics.

"Now we are seeing how good Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial can be and it has not taken too many changes for Solskjaer to transform the mood at United. That's why I think they could easily get into the top four in the Premier League now, especially after the events of last Sunday.

"If Tottenham had taken their chances at United at Wembley and not given David de Gea a chance to save the dozen clear cut chances they created in the second half, they would be 13 points ahead of United now.

"Instead, that gap is down to just seven and with Harry Kane out for a couple of months at least, I fear for them. They could be out of every major competition by the time Kane comes back and United will be the team benefiting if they collapse now."
