ARSENE WENGER reckons title rivals Manchester United will crack under the pressure of their tough run-in.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side are favourites for their second consecutive Premier League crown after opening a five-point lead over Chelsea and a six-point gap to Arsenal.
But Gunners chief Wenger is convinced United – who play four away games in their last six matches – will stumble on the home straight.
He said: “I do believe United will drop points. They play four times away from home between now and the end of the season. It depends on how the games go and how much effort the other teams put in against them, but no win is guaranteed in the Premier League.
“Manchester United are an excellent team, but they can still lose points and they have hard games against us and Chelsea still to come as well. Everything is still possible.” Wenger might still hold hopes of reclaiming a first Premier League title in four years, but he admits Arsenal cannot afford another slip this season
