Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick places Arsenal as the favourites to finish fourth in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that Arsenal are "in the best possible position" to finish fourth in the Premier League this season.

The Gunners are currently fourth in the table, one point clear of fifth-placed Man United, with three games in hand on the 20-time English champions.

West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also challenging for a Champions League finish this season, but Rangnick has conceded that Arsenal are currently the favourites to finish in the top four, potentially behind Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

"Yeah, but not only us, the same is true with two or three other clubs. They (Arsenal) seem to be in the best possible position but there are still 10 games to play," Rangnick told reporters. "We are fully aware we have to look after ourselves and not drop any more points."

Man United will be looking to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Manchester derby last weekend when they welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Red Devils will then host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening for the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie, with the contest level at 1-1 following the first leg.
