Yes, Manchester United's head coach, players, fans, and management will be happy if Manchester United finishes in the 4th position of the Premier League table, considering Manchester United's poor start in the Premier League this season. Luton Town will be an easy match for Liverpool today because Luton Town have failed to win in their last three matches in the Premier League.
The point gap between Manchester United, which is currently ranked 6th in the standings, and the top 4 in the Premier League standings, is five points. This means that Manchester United still have to fight more in several matches and expect to lose several matches to Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, because the other three positions in the top flight will continue to be more fiercely contested by the other three teams. This is possible because the difference in the number of points owned by Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal is only one between them.
The five-point difference between Manchester United and Aston Villa is not much because Aston Villa was leading Manchester United with a big point difference, but Manchester United has close the point difference to five points. Aston Villa will still drop more points because they are not consistent now. If Manchester United continues with their present form, they might end up in the top four of the Premier League.
