Manchester united is likely to lose their fourth place, losing two straight games in this injury time is worrisome to the team. The defend is mess up without varane and Martinez. Shaw is struggling in his current position, its sad that this happening to Manchester united at this critical time. Maguire is the worst you can ever think of in the defense, i hope things get better before they miss out of the champions league zone
They don't have a too good squad but some excellent matches in middle of season made their fans think that they are competitive for Premier League title as well as Europa League title. They are all wrong with that naive thinking as recent drop of performance shows that Manchester United need many big changes in their squad especially in their defense area. From goalkeeper to defenders,they will need better players.
They still have an advantage against Liverpool but losing one more match, they will feel bigger pressure from Liverpool. In fact if Manchester United win 3 / 4 remaining matches, they will win this competition but will they be able to do that?
Manchester United's points on the standings board will be chased by Liverpool, and it is likely that Manchester United will be moved down to the top five positions at the top of the standings.
They have very bad form currently and if they can not break that form, they will lose their fourth position to Liverpool. We saw how Arsenal lost their fourth position to Tottenham in the past season. Between Manchester United and Liverpool, Manchester United have ability to control the race but they just have terrible form whilst Liverpool are on fire.
