#2 Top four finish
United are currently 5th in the table, 2 points adrift of Arsenal at 4th and 3 points away from Tottenham at 3rd. While both 3rd and 4th position would appear attainable on paper, the reality is a little different.
United have home games against Manchester City and Chelsea next month, while they also play Wolves away and Watford at home. Other games include home ties against West Ham and Cardiff City and away games against Everton and Huddersfield.
Expecting United to win all games from now until the end of the season is a tough ask, so the Norwegian has to depend on the results of his opponents. This is where things look a little bleak.
Arsenal have a relatively easier run of games, where they face none of the top 6. Only 3 of their 8 opponents are currently in the top half of the table – Wolves, Watford and Leicester City, however, all three are away games for the Gunners.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have away games at Liverpool and Manchester City, so it could be trickier for Pochettino’s side. Chelsea could also steal a march on their rivals, as they are just a point away from United at 6th.
Now that his future is sorted, Solskjaer has to ensure United fight till the end for the coveted 4th spot.
