Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has cast doubt on Manchester United's chances of winning the Premier League title this season.

Speaking to beIN Sports, Wenger noted that while the team has potential, they have not yet found a collective way to play.

“When you see Man Utd, they are one of the examples where there is a potential there,” Wenger said. “But they have not found a collective way. Maybe these players are not mature enough to carry the team play of a team like Man United, altogether. That is the question mark now.”

Wenger also expressed skepticism about Manchester United's ability to emulate the success of past players like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and David Beckham, saying, “Will they emulate what (Ryan) Giggs, (Paul) Scholes, (David) Beckham did over a number of years? Personally, I’m not convinced.”

Manchester United will continue their season at home to Leicester City on Saturday, in a 3pm kick-off at Old Trafford.
