Last weekend, MU had a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the match at Old Trafford. After a completely pressured first half, winning one point was an acceptable result for MU. However, Coach Ten Hag probably cannot be happy with the home team’s current performance.
The recent performance was the third consecutive time MU lost points in the Premier League. In the last 5 matches in this arena, MU only had 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses.
Playing poorly in the sprint, MU was out of breath in the race to win tickets to attend the C1 Cup (Champion League) next season. After 31 matches, MU has 49 points and a difference of -1. Tottenham ranked 4th. The London representative played 31 matches, had 60 points and a difference of +20. Aston Villa ranked 5th with 60 points, difference +17 but played 32 matches.
MU is currently ranked 6th on the rankings, 11 points behind the group participating in the C1 Cup. Meanwhile, the group behind is following very closely
Next season, UEFA will increase one more place to attend the C1 Cup for the two tournaments with the highest scores of the year in European cups. With many representatives yet to be eliminated, the Premier League is opening the door to win this position.
But even if the Premier League has 5 spots, MU’s chances of winning tickets to C1 will not increase much.
“MU played one match less than Aston Villa, the team ranked 5th. However, Aston Villa only needs 11 points in the last 6 rounds to definitely rank above the Red Devils. Even if the score is equal, Villa’s difference is also outstanding”, Goal described.
If they want to appear to be in the Champions League, MU needs to win all the remaining matches and hope Tottenham or Aston only pocket 10 points or less. Or a crazier scenario where one of the remaining 2 teams loses, then MU only needs to win 4 out of the remaining 7 matches to have a ticket.
Many people humorously believe that the chance of the “Red Devils” participating in Europe’s No. 1 club-level tournament is lower than the rate of your crush accepting your confession.
In an article published on April 8, Squawka newspaper predicted that MU’s rate of winning tickets to the Champions League was only 0.8%, while the rates of Tottenham and Aston Villa were 54.77% and 54.77% respectively. 43.85%.
The opponents in the final rounds of MU, Tottenham and Aston Villa. MU has the easiest schedule. However, they are far behind Aston Villa and Tottenham in terms of points up to now
At this time, the more realistic race for MU is to win tickets to the Europa League. If the Premier League has 5 places to attend the C1 Cup, MU will have a place to attend the Europa League if it maintains its current 6th position. However, the opponents behind were very close with the distance less than a win. If pushed to a lower position, MU will have to compete in the third tier of the European Conference League or worse, “empty-handed”.
In fact, MU has another way to win tickets to the Europa League, through winning the FA Cup. MU only had to meet lower-ranked opponent Coventry in the semi-finals. However, the opponents waiting for them in the final are Man City or Chelsea.
This weekend, MU will have a match with rival Bournemouth in the English Premier League. One week later, coach Ten Hag and his team will compete in the FA Cup.
Coach Ten Hag and his students only have the FA Cup to avoid being left empty-handed this season
