Carragher: 'Man Utd have bottled title battle'

Jamie Carragher claims that Manchester United have "bottled" the Premier League title after conceding a late equaliser to draw 3-3 with Everton on Saturday evening.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that Manchester United have "bottled" the Premier League title after their dramatic draw with Everton.

The Red Devils would have had the chance to temporarily rise back to the top of the table, but a last-gasp equaliser from Dominic Calvert-Lewin prevented them from taking all three points as Everton claimed a share of the spoils in a 3-3 draw.

City have since moved five points clear at the top after thrashing Liverpool 4-1, and Carragher think that Man United have now talked themselves out of a shot at glory.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Carragher said: "I think Man Utd have bottled it now they've got there, they've almost talked themselves out of it.

"I think it's only Liverpool who can stop them [City] - I don't think Man Utd fancy it. Listening to the comments of the Manchester United manager...Man Utd just seem happy to be involved - I cannot believe it.

"It's a unique season; Liverpool have no centre-backs, City have had no strikers and De Bruyne has been out. We were saying last season that City were off the boil; they're only three points better off so it shows they're still not the City of two, three years ago."

Man United, who have played a game more than City, now meet West Ham United in Tuesday's FA Cup tie before resuming Premier League action against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
