Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

I think he was quite grumpy by the bad performance of his team to start with and that defeat against Everton at Villa Park.

The injury to John McGinn, which is another injury on top of the likes of Kamara and Onana, etc.

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

The fact that he probably lost Daniel Malen the day before that game due to financial reasons.

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

This is probably the only explanation you could have to let Malen go now, even if they would replace him with Tammy Abraham, which is, I think,

could be a clever signing, you still don't want to lose Malen at this stage of the season when you're potentially aiming or fighting for potentially winning the title.

So I think all of that probably made him a bit grumpy because this is not true, really.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

They are obviously top five contender easily.

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

They are when you see the gap between them and...

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

fourth place is quite significant at this time of the season.

So I think it was just a bit grumpy and he's probably not too happy with not just where the team is at right now because we said first half of the season they did really well but overachieved a lot of their metrics and a lot of their stats.

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

Won some games where they probably didn't deserve to win them and now it seems to things have levelled a little bit and they're obviously not as good and not winning those games as we saw on Sunday plus the injuries.

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

It was probably a little bit too much for Unai on Sunday afternoon.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

No, it's not that.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

Right now they're outside of the top six position, outside of the top five, so I can see the top five staying.

Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

I think for United to not play in Europe between now and May is massive.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

I expect Chelsea to qualify for probably

The play-off for sure, but finishing top eight maybe.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

So they'll be in the last 16.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

Potentially you could go to the quarter-finals.

And that adds games.
