Manchester United have now gone five consecutive Premier League games without a win and the shocking deal is that most of these opponents are small clubs yet Manchester United struggled to draw some. Like you said finishing at the top half should be their top achievement this season because there is a huge chance that they might not win the Europa league trophy.
Manchester United feels they can win the Europa League title and they have not put much effort in their premier league games which happen to put them in a position so far from even finishing the game in the first half of the table. Manchester United are so poor on performance this season that you won’t even give them the hope of finishing in the top table or even get close to winning anything this season. They feel they can win the Europa League trophy despite this poor performance by them, let’s see if a miracle will happen for them to achieve this.
Although it feels heavy, Arsenal must still forget their sadness. Now the Champions League is the only goal, if Arsenal are lucky enough to win the Champions League trophy, the title will be much more prestigious. Arteta certainly knows what to do, and after seeing his team convincingly beat Real Madrid, I think they also have a good bargaining chip to achieve success. Besides, by winning the Champions League trophy, Arsenal will also be able to change the public narrative, which has tended to underestimate them.
If they can win the champions league trophy, I don’t see the reason why they will not be a top choice for the premier league trophy. They happen to be the runner up most of the times and this time will also not be an exception. But what is impressive of them is that they’re about to win the champions league trophy, which if they did win, we can put them in the same position as Liverpool. We may also assume that luck was not just in their side to win the premier league trophy. Which is to say that, they can try again next season and be a potential winner of the title.
It's too early for us to be talking about arsenal winning the champions League let wait until the semi finals is over because one of the reasons why arsenal has not been able to win the premier League is that they have not been consistent when every hopes is high on them like this champions League season they will fumble and let all hopes down so we should wait for arsenal to make it through to the finals before putting arsenal as favorite in the champions League race
