United have now lost 3 of their last 5 games in the Premier League. It is a run that has spoilt Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's perfect start to life as the United manager. The United Manager lit up the Premier League since taking charge and has been in blistering form until recently. Solskjaer has so far managed to accumulate 12 wins and 2 draws from his 17 games in charge in the Premier League, yet it is the defeats that have gathered much attention.

But what people tend to forget is that all those losses came away from home. At home in the Premier League, United have been magnificent and undefeated under Solskjaer, with only Liverpool and Burnley managing to leave Old Trafford with a point. This is where the last 4 games in hand get a very interesting angle.

Three of United's last four games are at Old Trafford. These are against Manchester City, Chelsea and Cardiff City. The only game away from Old Trafford is against Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium. As such, United have an unusual advantage going into the final few weeks and it might be the biggest reason why United can still manage a top 4 finish.
