Paul Lambert: 'Manchester United are still contenders for the Premier League'

By , Reporter
Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert insists that Manchester United should still be considered as contenders for the Premier League title this campaign.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has suggested that Manchester United could still win the Premier League title.

The Villa coach prepares to welcome Louis van Gaal's side to Villa Park on Saturday and has insisted that the Reds are still in with a shout despite already losing a number of games this campaign.

"They might not be able to lose many more games if they are going to win the title but they're certainly in with a shout," said Lambert, according to Sky Sports News.

"It is still a brilliant club with great players. The players they have brought in, there are not many teams in world football who can do that.

"They're a really good side. Just because they've changed managers doesn't change my thinking of that football club."

Lambert's Villa currently occupy 13th spot in the Premier League table.
