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.
The problem is that even now they have also passed that period even though there are still a number of players who are still not in the squad but on the other hand in this case their performance is still not completely correct.
Manchester United's attacking line is still not very good after several players have come in because indeed there may be some adjustments still to be made but that obviously shouldn't be an excuse but for the previous few games they still have a lot of gaps.
This week's game should be used as a good momentum by them. Garnacho returned to playing after previously being detained because he did not want to take a big risk from his performance which of course this will be very good and must be used as momentum in their remaining 3 matches.
