But the problem is they cannot afford to lose matches from now on because that team in fifth place has 37 points.
But on the positive side, Manchester United have played 1 less match.
Don't forget about Tottenham and Manchester United have worse condition with internal bonds amongst their players as well as players and coach. It is not helpful and healthy in long run. They should improve it as soon as possible because if they give it more time to explode and become worse, they will harvest bad results in later of the season.
Yeah, I think Tottenham have to be favourites to secure fourth place at the moment, 2 point behind with 2 games in hand, it seems certain they will overhaul United. And yes, United have much bigger internal problems than Spurs do. I don't think Man U will get a Champions League place this season.
