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.
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.
This season's EPL league is very competitive, starting from fighting for the EPL title, fighting for the top four to avoiding the very tight relegation zone and anything can happen until the end of the season. So I still see Man United as having a chance to finish in the top four if their play continues to be consistent and has a fighting spirit like when they beat Liverpool in their last match.
There are still 10 games left in this season and it can't be predicted. However, usually in the last 10 matches all teams will experience difficult matches, especially clubs that are relegated or are fighting for the UCL and European Zones will struggle hard in every match. It is not yet possible to predict whether Tottenham, Aston Villa and Man United will play well or not. However, what is clear is that Tottenham Hotspur is a stumbling block for three potential champions such as Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool because they are also fighting for UCL tickets. If Tottenham slips, then Manchester United is ready to replace Tottenham and Aston Villa.
