Carragher's prediction about Manchester United is causing a stir again.

Legendary Jamie Carragher's comments about Manchester United earlier in the season have unexpectedly resurfaced online as the 2025/26 Premier League season draws to a close.

Carragher made an incorrect prediction about the teams' positions in the Premier League this season.

At the time of making the prediction, the former Liverpool center-back caused controversy by not including Manchester United in the top 6. Carragher predicted Liverpool would win the title, while Arsenal would finish second, Manchester City third, and Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle United would complete the top 6.

When asked about Manchester United's position, Carragher frankly stated: "I think United will finish the season in 9th place." Carragher then argued that United's squad lacked balance and would struggle to compete with the top contenders.

The reality is that the former English star's prediction was completely wrong. After a turbulent start to the season, MU accelerated strongly under interim manager Michael Carrick to finish in third place and secure a spot in next season's Champions League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool themselves have had a difficult season and are currently only in sixth place. Tottenham and Newcastle have even struggled in the relegation battle for several rounds.

Conversely, Arsenal holds the biggest advantage in the title race. The "Gunners" have maintained consistency in the final stages of the season and are leading the league table, while Man City are hot on their heels with a two-point gap.

What made Carragher's statement so controversial again was that almost the entire Premier League landscape went in the opposite direction of his initial predictions. Manchester United didn't collapse as expected, Liverpool failed to dominate the league, and Tottenham and Newcastle underperformed compared to expectations.

Despite Manchester United's remaining issues regarding playing style and squad depth, their late-season surge shows that the "Red Devils" far exceeded the pessimistic predictions made at the beginning of the season.
