Nigerian Afrobeat star Joseph Akinwale, better known as Joeboy, has boldly predicted that Manchester United will beat Liverpool to the Premier League title.
Joeboy shared his thoughts on a recent Premier League show and expressed some relief that former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has left Old Trafford after nearly two years in charge.
Joeboy on Ten Hag’s Tenure
Joeboy, though, said fans struggled with the inconsistency of United’s league results under Ten Hag, who led the club to FA Cup and Carabao Cup wins.
I’m very pleased [Erik] ten Hag’s out. We weren’t getting results. He had enough chances,” Joeboy said.

Manchester United under Ten Hag won 44 of the 85 Premier League games but shone in the cups, winning 17 of 21 matches to lift the EFL Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.

Optimism Under Van Nistelrooy
Fans hope Ruud van Nistelrooy’s appointment as interim manager reignites hope, but Joeboy is confident about the Red Devils’ future.
“I think Manchester United are going to win [against Chelsea].” He said, ‘They are going to win the Premier League; just watch.’
The 5-2 win over Leicester has only helped build confidence, and United prepare for a crunch clash with Chelsea this Sunday at Old Trafford.
