Man United chances are very low of reaching the top four of the standings and finishing there when the season ends. They have a better chance of finishing in the Europa League zone, it is already difficult to overtake Tottenham and Aston Villa, these two clubs have a better chance of getting tickets to the Champions League next season. Although Aston Villa and Tottenham lost points, it is not certain that Man United will be consistent in the remaining matches ahead. Player injury problems are one of the causes of their inconsistency this season, not to mention other internal problems involving players and coaches, which has caused Man United to experience a setback this season.
Manchester United were closed to making a great come back to the top of the league but some how, their performance decline and now they can't even make it to the top 4. Even the Europa League, if care is not taking, they might not end in the first division of the Europa but will end in the Europa conference league. This is too much to see such a wonderful club in bit perhaps they can redeem their self the way Liverpool is doing right now, they went to Europa and kill it and also standing strong among the top guys in the Premier League.
It is indeed too late for Man United to realize their ambition of finishing in the top four of the standings. Defeat by Fulham at Old Trafford in week 26, then continuing to be defeated by Man City in week 27, marks Man United chances of reaching the League Champions zone has finished. It's true that the difference in points is still very likely to be reduced, but I haven't seen any signs of a significant improvement in performance within the Ten Hag squad. The victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup cannot be used as a complete reference for Man United next match.
They used that loses to get back at Everton and played well in the FA cup with Liverpool. Manchester United remaining matches are just going to be another journey of win and loss because that features are not something I expect them to win easily. Their last match is should be an inspiration but then it happen at the old Trafford, I don't think I have much expectations from this club again.
