The Manchester United team is performing so badly that no one ever really thought. In my opinion, the authorities need to do something great for Manchester United because this traditional team is performing so badly that football fans can't really accept it.
I don't really know maybe you are referring to the same united that that won their match yesterday, we know united performance was not encouraging when they played against West Ham and Brighton, but their performance is not that bad as you are saying, you are exaggerating it too much, if Manchester united performance is really so bad as you just said, then they won't be in 4th position which they are currently, they are having the same points with Newcastle that's in third position. Manchester united fans felt bad about the two matches they lost in their previous matches, but they are about to achieve the top 3 they are fighting for.
I prefer to say that Manchester United can't keep up their consistency, because as you said, if Manchester United are bad overall this season, then we won't see them in the top 4 at the moment. If they can perform more consistently, I think we will see Manchester United in a better position than they are now, or they can compete together with Manchester City and Arsenal. But the fact is that as we see now, sometimes they play very well in one match, but at the same time they perform poorly in another match, so that they have to taste defeat when they face even a weak club.
Their defense is my main focus at the moment, while the main players who usually guard their back line cannot play, they don't have players who can replace the absent players with good play.
all of that because there were several players from Manchester United who were injured so that really affected the team's performance because Manchester United's coating players were unable to maintain or show the same performance as the core players.
now there are only 3 matches left and Manchester United is 4 points ahead of Liverpool who are in 5th place in the standings, meaning Manchester United only needs 2 more wins to secure their position, I have no doubt about that, I'm sure Manchester United can finish in the top 4 Premier League final standings.
