Manchester United will face major obstacles in making this happen. United's rivals, Tottenham and Aston Villa, should consistently fail to accumulate points. Tottenham is only 6 points ahead, united while Aston Villa is 9 points to the united. The main issue is that the remaining matches are becoming fewer, and it is extremely difficult for Manchester United to overtake Aston Villa and Tottenham considering fewer matches remaining make it even harder and mu potentially widen the gap.
However, Manchester United must get nearly perfection in their rest matches and it is very challenging task for them. If they can not do it, dropped points from two competitors might not be helpful for Manchester United to improve their ranking at all.
When assessing Manchester United's performance this season, it's evident that their consistency leaves much to be desired. This inconsistency casts doubt on their ability to secure a spot in the top four. Even though teams like Aston Villa and Tottenham, currently positioned ahead of Manchester United, have also experienced dips in form, the latter's irregularity presents an opportunity for these teams to overtake them.
Looking ahead, Manchester United faces challenging fixtures against formidable opponents such as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle. Given their recent performances, it seems unlikely that they will emerge victorious against these tough opponents. Therefore, based on these observations, it's uncertain whether Manchester United will finish the season in the top four and qualify for the next year's Champions League.
