Unfortunately, Manchester United's good performance came at the right time, after a dramatic win over Liverpool in the FA Cup, the competition was temporarily stopped due to the international break. Manchester United will compete again in the EPL on March 31 against Brentford. This match may be easier for Manchester United because Brentford is not a strong team in the EPL. Namun setelahnya Manchester United akan away ke markas Chelsea dan pada berikutnya Manchester United akan kembali Menjamu Liverpool di Old Trafford.
Ten Hag must make Manchester United appear consistent for the remainder of this season to secure a place in the European Zone. Manchester United still has the opportunity to finish in the top four if they are able to maintain their performance, but Aston Villa and Tottenham will also try to provide competition that will make Manchester United have to fight hard.
After the international break, everything will change again and it is possible that there will be several changes that occur, but regarding the revival or improvement in Manchester United's performance, it is not just against Liverpool in the FA Cup because in the last few matches we have also seen an increase or progress in performance. better than the Manchester United team.
The possibility of finishing in the top 4 mathematically is still there, but we also have to be realistic looking at Manchester United's current points lag, now Manchester United is 9 points behind Aston Villa who are in 4th position in the Premier League standings and also see the consistency of these two teams is quite the same, so even though Manchester United are able to be consistent until the end of the season, their percentage will still be small because Aston Villa is also likely to do the same thing.
I don't think that it is possible for Manchester united to finish fourth on the table, because it will be hard for them to achieve it. The team faced a lot of difficulties this season, and it is just recently that they have started improving in their performance but it was too late for them to secure a ticket to UCL next season, due to the few matches left, and the big difference in points of the club sitting on the fourth position.
Aston Villa may/may not qualify to the champion league if they are not consistent in their rest matches, because Tottenham is a threat to them, and also have the interest of qualifying to the champions league next season. Manchester united should will be in Europa, I think that fits them better, because they found it very difficult to win their UCL matches this season.
