Manchester United will surely find it difficult to rank up higher in the EPL. I think it is already late, even though they still have more matches. We are not sure if they are going to win those matches, and that's the reason why they will find it difficult to go higher. However, I think for them to catch up with Aston Villa, we still have Tottenham in front, and Aston Villa are also doing their best currently, so you can see that is not something Manchester United are going to get now. It will surely delay. They need to win more matches so that they can be able to go higher. but they may put in more effort so they can get ticket for the UCL.
Manchester United have fallen out of the title race, but it is not too late to finish in the top four. Manchester United must rely on themselves in the remaining matches this season, they must maintain their performance to collect the full points up for grabs in each match. Their opportunity to get into the top four is very open, currently they are only three points behind Tottenham who are in fifth place and five points from Aston Villa who are in fourth place. Ten Hag, who has just found the best form of play for his team, will try to take advantage of the opportunities that are in front of him. It will not be difficult for Manchester United to overtake Tottenham and Aston Villa if they manage to achieve consecutive wins in the remaining matches this season.
Honestly it would be a miracle if Man Utd displace Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa from the fourth and fifth positions this is due to the team inconsistency in their performance though it's seem the team has woke up and had improved having won four consecutive matches now, however can the team sustain their recent winning mentality? They would play Fulham and Nothingham Forest in FA cup thereafter play Man City at the Etihad stadium if they can get a positive result from these matches then the team would definitely vie for top 4, as the league gradually winding up matches would become very competitive because every team would up their game.
