Would they not be a point above us then. We would need to win our game in hand first to get fourth

If Arsenal/Liverpool draw and united win then we'll be level with Arsenal on 51 points. In 5th position because of GD

Yes you're right in that case
Yep as long as we beat Bournemouth any result really will be good, although a Arsenal loss would be the best for us.

Looking at the fixtures - the next 5 are massive for us to put a stamp on the top 4
04 Mar PL Bournemouth (h)
19 Mar PL Middlesbrough (a)
01 Apr PL West Brom Albion (h)
04 Apr PL Everton (h)
09 Apr PL Sunderland (a)
These all need to be 3pts because coming down the stretch we have Arsenal, Spurs, City all away from home - most of them will be most likely the last two weekends of the season - that's really tough
We are definitely challengers in the EL - the way the draw went - a couple of our rivals will be knocked out but i'm reluctant to put all our eggs in the EL basket - yes....its an opportunity to get into the CL but the league is our bread and butter - theres no reason why we cant finish as high as possible

This is where the mixed blessing of fixture congestion comes through when we play only 2 PL games in March (as it stands currently) and we can't really make inroads into the League positions.

Especially because Arsenal also have a game in hand.Yep as long as we beat Bournemouth any result really will be good, although a Arsenal loss would be the best for us.

Agree with you here. I also looked at the teams that remain in EL. There's not a single team that will give United any serious problems. Lol. I may live to regret that statement but I'm pretty confident
Looking forward to some big games
And we have not be so good at taking advantage of other teams slipping up like the Stoke game.

You right..there isnt and we should put these teams away. I think the team is gelling at the right time which gives me confidence. A trophy to boost the confidence is also good

Interesting mailbox on F365 with one mail suggesting Herrera is better than Kante (in that role). Loads of people responding no etc but statistically he IS playing better than Kante
Your guys' thoughts?
Personally i am a huge fan of the spaniard

Love Herrera but Kante seems to run more and break up play a whole lot more than Herrera whereas Herrera is silkier, better passer
If Kante was in our team over Herrera, Pogba would be free alot more to advance
As a box to box or DMF - Kante is better (big fan of his work and this type of player)
My 2c anyway
