Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has expressed doubts about Manchester United's chances of winning the Premier League title this season.

Speaking on September 12, 2019, Wenger pointed to the team's poor form, which has seen them sit eighth on the standings after four matches played in the new campaign.

United's string of poor results since their encouraging 4-0 win over Chelsea in their season opener has raised concerns about their title hopes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has appeared to put his trust in young players in a move aimed at rebuilding the team, but Wenger believes this approach could be detrimental to their chances.

"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 told beIN Sports.

Wenger also stated, "You feel there is something coming out but it's not ready. When you watch them play, they are not a candidate to fight for the championship," further emphasizing his doubts about the team's title prospects.
