Liverpool great Jamie Carragher says Manchester United don't deserve their bad press.
Carragher claims Manchester United get too much criticism at the moment and are not "as far away as people speak about" from the Premier League title.
He told the Pitch to Post Preview Podcast: "How much of a leap would it be for Man Utd to win the title next season? It would be a jump, of course it would be.
"But I actually think Man Utd get too much criticism for what they're doing right now. Man City are phenomenal - we're talking about a team who were on the verge of doing the quadruple and could still do a treble.
"Man Utd are ten points behind but when you see the distance that some teams in second and third have been behind (the champions in the past), ten points doesn't sound too bad to me.
"But I don't think they're as far away as people speak about, really. Some of the things they've done this season I don't think some of the most famous teams in Man Utd's history have achieved, in terms of going so long away from home without defeat.
"So there's a lot to be enthusiastic about, and a lot will come down to whether they can make that last step in the transfer market in the summer. They've had a really good season, and they'll want to cap it off with a trophy as Man Utd need to be winning trophies."
