      Boss Erik ten Hag is masterminding the downfall of Barcelona ahead of their Europa League second-leg on Thursday, he has them in the fifth round of the FA Cup and they take on Newcastle in the final of the Carabao Cup on Sunday in search of their first trophy since 2017.
      And despite trailing leaders Arsenal by five points and sitting third, the Red Devils are still in the Premier League title race.
      Many would have them as the outsiders to win the top-flight, but ex-England goalkeeper David James believes they will go all the way and punish the recent up-and-down form of the Gunners and second-placed Man City.
      Speaking to The Games Cabin, the 52-year-old said: “It’s so difficult to say and I don’t want to sound like a flag in the wind here, but Manchester United are probably the favourites at the moment to win the league with all the stuttering that Arsenal and Manchester City have been showing in recent weeks.

      “Manchester United just seem to be cruising at the moment, however, as with Arsenal and Manchester City, every team’s run comes to an end, so there’s obviously a chance that Manchester United’s run will come to an end at some point.
      “If that was to happen, then that will put the advantage back with Arsenal and Manchester City, who you’d expect to pick up some good form between now and the end of the season.

      “Essentially, I believe those three teams will be in the top four at the end of the season.”
      United could fall eight points behind Arsenal over the weekend as the Gunners play their game in hand when they travel to Leicester on Saturday.

      Meanwhile City, who have also played 24 top-flight matches and sit three points ahead of Ten Hag’s side, head to Bournemouth.
      The Red Devils will not be in Premier League action due to their date with destiny at Wembley.
      But they face a bumper challenge when they return to league duty with a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday 5 March.

      Now at Barcelona, Torres has been trying to help the club return to the heights of its past.
      However, his move to the Catalan giants has not been perfect as he has struggled for consistent form.
      Since joining the club from Man City in January 2022 he has only managed to score 12 times in 52 appearances in all competitions.
      But he did impress during the club’s 2-0 win over Cadiz while playing in his natural right-wing position.

      “It has been a very bitter experience, but at the same time one of the best moments because now I feel stronger.
      “It has not been appreciated that I came at a very difficult time, with the team ninth in the league, and then being a participant to qualify the team for the Champions League.
      “I have become too obsessed with the goal and not with playing.
      “Before, I thought more about scoring, even if I didn’t play well.
      “Now I have learned to go out, to enjoy and from there, things come out on their own.”
      Torres will be hoping to enjoy himself again for Barcelona in their next match against Manchester United.
      The two sides face off again for the second leg of their Europa League clash following the 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp last week.

      United, Liverpool and Manchester City have been linked with the England international this summer, whose contract negotiations at Stamford Bridge have stalled.
      Mount wants pay parity with Chelsea’s top stars – but has only scored three and made two goals in his 22 Premier League appearances this season.
      And Saha told Lord Ping: “Mason Mount can fit in at any team, but I don’t think he’s had a great year at Chelsea and I’m not sure why he’d be linked more than he was before seeing as he was on fire last year.
      “I don’t think he should move to United as he hasn’t been playing well.

      “I think these rumours are coming from agents and I’m not going to blame the media, but moving for Mount is not the right call at the moment.”
      Saha has also played down the need for United to try to sign another England international in Declan Rice.
      The former striker believes the West Ham star is not needed at Old Trafford because the club already have Casemiro.
      He added: “Declan Rice is a top player but he’s not in the same league as Casemiro.

      “It will take Rice time to adjust to this level, but he’s a good player and could become it but I don’t think United need him at the moment because we have sold this issue after such a long time.” More

      But Van Basten reckons the Red Devils missed a better player was lurking in the Ajax ranks.
      That man is Mohammed Kudus, who the Dutch legend says is “much better” that Antony.
      Things haven’t particularly worked out for the Brazil international so far, with just three goals and no assists in the Premier League not reflecting the huge fee United paid.
      And Van Basten adds that he looks “confused” at Old Trafford.

      Speaking to Ziggo Sport, he said: “I find Mohammed Kudus a much better football player than Antony.
      “Antony has his skills, but he is confused with the things he is trying to do!”
      “Kudus has much better technique and he knows what he is doing. Antony may be faster, but Kudus is smarter and more technical.”
      Van Basten continued: “He is much more of a footballer, you can place him anywhere on the pitch, an all-rounder for the team.”

      The forward starred for Ajax in their miserable Champions League campaign with six goal contributions in as many games as the Dutch giants went out in the group stage. More
