Former Chelsea captain, John Terry has said that Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, will finish in the Premier League top three this season.
According to him, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will battle for the fourth position.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Terry also wondered if United manager, Jose Mourinho, has strong leaders in his dressing room.
Two defeats in four matches have left United drifting in 10th, and prompted discussion over whether Mourinho can add to his three Premier League titles.
Terry captained Chelsea to each of those triumphs and is confident the 55-year-old is capable of further glory.
However, the ex-England defender believes Mourinho must first find “personalities” like Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba to set the standard.
“At every club he has had big characters and I’m not sure he has that at Manchester United at the moment. At Chelsea, he did.
“You have to stand up and turn up at training every day and show him that you want to win at all costs. If you’ve got that, he’s 100 per cent on your side.
“I do think he’ll bring success to United, but it needs patience.
“My top three for this season will be decided between City, Liverpool and Chelsea. That leaves United and Spurs fighting for fourth,” Terry said.
