Manchester United’s next six Premier League fixtures compared with Spurs, Newcastle and rivals as they drop to fourth
On Sunday afternoon, Manchester United lost 2-0 to Newcastle United at St. James’ Park, causing them to slip down a spot in the Premier League rankings. Newcastle United surpassed Erik ten Hag’s team after Joe Willock and Callum Wilson scored for the home team.Â
The Reds’ performance was unsatisfactory as they have not won three consecutive top-flight matches. Currently, they are in fourth place in the table with 50 points. However, if Tottenham defeats Everton at Goodison Park on Monday night, Manchester United could drop below them in the rankings.
SportsDias has analyzed Manchester United’s upcoming six matches in comparison to their competitors as the competition to secure a spot in the Champions League for the following season becomes increasingly fierce.
Manchester United – 4th (50pts)
- Brentford (H) – April 5
- Everton (H) – April 8
- Nottingham Forest (A) – April 16
- Tottenham Hotspur (A) – April 27
- Aston Villa (H) – April 30
- Brighton (A) – May 4
The current situation of Erik ten Hag’s team, where they have not won in three consecutive Premier League matches, means that they are eager to return to winning ways.
The upcoming match against Brentford at home during the midweek will be a challenging test, but Manchester United must aim to secure a victory. Additionally, they have a good opportunity to make progress towards a top-four finish as they will play against relegation-threatened Everton over the weekend.
Manchester United’s next three matches, including two away games against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, and a home tie against Aston Villa, will be tough challenges.
If the team can secure nine points from these matches, it would be a positive step towards their goal. However, the Reds face a challenging test away at Brighton as they begin May, and their position in the rankings will become clearer at that point.
Newcastle United – 3rd (50pts)
- West Ham United (A) – April 5
- Brentford (A) – April 8
- Aston Villa (A) – April 15
- Tottenham Hotspur (H) – April 23
