Crystal Palace boss, Patrick Vieira has warned league champions, Manchester City and league leaders, Arsenal that Manchester United are capable of winning the Premier League (PL) title this season.
The Red Devils currently have 39 points from 18 PL games and sit in fourth position behind Newcastle United on goal difference.
After a poor start to the season which saw them suffer a 4-0 and 6-3 defeat to Brentford and Manchester City respectively and a home loss to Brighton, Manchester United have found their stride.
Viera, speaking ahead of his side’s clash against Ten Hag’s men on Wednesday night, believes that the Red Devils are a ‘different’ proposition under Erik ten Hag.

The Arsenal legend also said Manchester United must be taken seriously by league leaders and champions given their incredible run in the last couple of games.
He said: “When you look at their last couple of games, the number of wins and how close they are to the top, I think they can be [in a title race].
“It’s a different United [to the one we saw last season].”
Manchester United could leapfrog Newcastle United and Manchester City into second position if they beat Crystal Palace in the rescheduled midweek match.
They could also close the gap between them and league leaders, Arsenal, to just 3 points if they defeat the Gunners on Sunday after beating the Eagles.
