Wenger refuses to rule United out of title race; questions Hull name change

ARSENE WENGER says it is too early to rule Manchester United out of the title race.

Leaders Arsenal are nine points clear of David Moyes’ team and the bookmakers believe the title is now a three-way race between Wenger’s side, Manchester City and Chelsea.

But Wenger said it would be foolish to write off Manchester United.

"The bookies have an opinion that you can understand because they just look at the table," he said. "I wouldn't rule some other teams out like Manchester United. It's a bit early to make any prediction on the championship."

Arsenal take on Hull at the Emirates tomorrow night, with Wenger admitting he does not understand why Hull owner Assem Allam want to change the club's name from Hull City to Hull Tigers.

"I don’t think why it should happen and I don’t know exactly what is behind that thinking at Hull," said Wenger.
