Phil Thompson believes Manchester United Football Club are on the ropes.

The Reds looked decidedly shaky despite their 2-0 UEFA Champions League win over Inter Milan last week, in which the Italians twice hit the woodwork.

Days later Liverpool struck four at Old Trafford to go within four points of the champions, and former Anfield hero Thompson believes the title is up for grabs.

"United look as though they are cracking up,” he said. "Defensively, United have been so strong, but there were signs of chinks in the armour against Inter Milan."
