I mean, it nearly didn't happen and he was linked with them for a long time, but he's finally...

showing the qualities and why Man United want him so much and you're right it is important for Man United but they are in a really good run of form and I think in terms of the top four they're in a really strong position or top five Chelsea and Tottenham are both having kind of little wobbles at the moment and this league is so inconsistent at the moment that any wobble can allow your competitor to get

And that's what's happening with Man United at the moment.

I think the dangers will be the likes of Wolves and Sheffield United and even Burnley.

I don't want to give it all away.

And it's their best run of clean sheets for two years.

which is incredible.

And they've only scored two goals in that run too, which was against Everton at the weekend, which was unfortunately a goalkeeper mistake, and against Club Rouge in the first leg of their last 32 time.

We all know that that turned out pretty well in the end.

But obviously it's all down to the personnel that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has at the back.

So Harry Maguire's kind of living up to his...
