Liverpool hero McAteer: Man Utd can't handle big match occasions | OneFootball

Liverpool hero Jason McAteer has dismissed Premier League leaders Manchester United as a title thread.

United go to Anfield on Sunday.

“As far as Manchester United sitting top of the table, I do think it's a false position," McAteet told Sky Sports News.

“Burnley gave them a tough game but they came through it and showed a bit of resilience. There is a bit of team spirit coming at Manchester United.

“But Ole hasn't dealt with what other teams have dealt with, in terms of a lot of injuries this season. He's had a lot of players to pick from...

“Come the end of the season, I think Liverpool and Manchester City will be fighting it out. I think Manchester United will drop off.

“When you look at their results, when they have played the likes of RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Arsenal, they haven't come through those games.

“It just tells me, when the big occasion comes, can Manchester United actually do it?"
