Player injuries have certainly been a problem that has caused Manchester United's performance to decline throughout this season. Manchester United failed to maintain their best form after finishing in the Champions League zone last season, but this season everything has changed and they are still in the top 8 with 57 points in 37 matches.
Manchester United is likely to get 60 points this season if they manage to beat Brighton in the next match, but Brighton is clearly not an easy team to beat. Manchester United won their last match against Newcastle, it can help them gain good confidence ahead of the away match against Brighton.
Man Utd has a chance to finish in 7th position if they win the match against Brighton and Newcastle lose to Brentford, this season Man Utd continues to show their poor performance, even throughout the season, they have lost 14 times, this is a bad statistic, I don't know whether the rumors circulating will come true and in my opinion changing the coach is the best choice for Man Utd management to do because Ten Hag has not shown a big contribution to Man Utd.
