Manchester United are set to return to Premier League action after a three-week international break, currently sitting 12th in the table. They will host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday as part of their 2026-27 campaign. Under Michael Carrick, United have endured a mixed start, recording just one win from their first five league games.
On a recent podcast appearance with darts enthusiast Luke Littler, Scholes admitted that he had “lied” about his level of conviction regarding a previous prediction. He revealed that his claim Manchester United would win the league within the next decade did not come with full confidence at the time. Littler quipped that it might have been the last time they were not completely truthful.
Scholes had earlier expressed optimism about United’s prospects for the 2026-27 season, citing the club’s resurgence in the 2025-26 campaign under Carrick. He suggested United could challenge for the title if they conducted smart transfers, noting that while teams like Liverpool and Manchester City remained strong, the dynamics of the league were evolving. He also commented on Arsenal’s potential dominance, indicating he did not foresee a single team maintaining long-term supremacy for several years.
The upcoming fixture at Old Trafford is scheduled for a 5:30 pm UK kickoff on Saturday.
