Manchester United next six Premier League fixtures compared to Tottenham, Aston Villa and rivals as Ten Hag men set to return back to Top4 race
Manchester United have revived their top-four hopes this season with back-to-back Premier League wins. Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho (2) were on target for United in their 3-0 victory against West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as they leapfrogged their opponents into sixth.
Of course, Erik ten Hag and his players still have plenty of work to do – with nine defeats to their name already this campaign – and they are playing catch-up on the Champions League qualification places. However, there could be a fifth ticket to the marquee European competition next term.
Either way, there is still a six-point gap between United and Tottenham in fifth spot – while top-two Liverpool and Arsenal remain someway ahead following their showdown at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
