Winning those two games would propel them to 69 points in the mix with north London rivals Tottenham who sit on 67 points with a game in hand on Chelsea.
United still have two huge games against Chelsea and rivals Manchester City at home to come.
And Keown, who won the Premier League with Arsenal as a player, believes United’s tough run will hinder them.
“I think they’re [Manchester United just going to miss out,” Keown told the Metro.

“Arsenal [will finish in the top four], you may expect me to say that, but I’ve gone through the fixtures and I just think they’re just too tough for Man Utd
“When you look at these games they’ve got play City I think that will be a draw.
“I don’t think they can win that one for me it’s not going to happen.

“75 points I think they’ll get, same as Arsenal but they’ll finish above on goal difference,” he added.
Arsenal come up against FA Cup finalists Watford tonight in a game they need to win in order to prove Keown’s prediction right.
Arsenal are also still in the Europa League where they have one foot in the semi-finals, where they would face Valencia or Villareal, after winning their first leg against Napoli 2-0.
It's also becomingly increasingly likely that Chelsea and Arsenal could compete in the first ever all-English Europa League final in May - if Chelsea can come through Slavia Prague and either Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica in the semis.
