United’s chances of returning to the Champions League seem slim, as they are currently sixth in the top-flight table, trailing 13 points behind fourth-place Aston Villa and 6 points behind fifth-place Tottenham. Although United has an easier fixture list ahead, leapfrogging both teams appears highly unlikely given the unusual set of results required. Tottenham faces an arduous run-in with matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City, while Villa, with two games fewer than Spurs and one fewer than United, seems confident in maintaining their fourth spot. The top five and six teams will qualify for the Europa League, with the seventh-place finishers reaching the Europa Conference League.
Additionally, Newcastle, three points behind United in seventh place, could potentially overtake them. The text contains promotional content and references to the privacy policy.
