Jamie Carragher has changed his mind regarding his opinion of Manchester United’s Premier League season - and he even referred to it as the “biggest mistake” he made in his pre-season predictions.

Carragher, 46, gave his original prediction during a Monday Night Football broadcast alongside Gary Neville in August.

The former Liverpool defender voiced how he thought United, then managed by Erik ten Hag, would finish fifth in the Premier League, backing Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs to pip them to a top-four finish.

"Manchester United have made some big mistakes in the past,” he said in August.

“They're buying younger players now, but let's not make out this is revolutionary.

"Sir Matt Busby was doing this in the '60s! It's not something special they should be lauded for. I think they'll compete but miss out. I think Tottenham have the edge over them.”

Of course, a lot has happened since then with Ten Hag losing his job while Amorim arrived at Old Trafford and took charge of his first Premier League match in the 1-1 with Ipswich at Portman Road last Sunday.

However, Carragher has now seemingly had a change of heart and has given his ‘updated’ prediction.

“Now in fifth place [for Man United], this is the biggest mistake I’ve made in my predictions,” Carragher when speaking on Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel.

“I put Manchester United in fifth position. I don’t think there is a chance Manchester United finish in fifth position.

“I would be very surprised if they finish in the top six. I can’t really see that happening.”

The Red Devils currently sit 12th in the league ahead Sunday's clash with Everton at Old Trafford.
