When Jose Mourinho was sacked last month, United were in a dreadful position. They were 19 points behind Liverpool in first, and 11 points behind Chelsea in fourth. The Reds are still considerably ahead, but after winning against Spurs, the fourth place is just 6 points away.

United are tied on points with Arsenal in 5th and are behind only on goal difference. The said goal difference has improved as well, and it was negative not so long ago. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reinvigorated the confidence in the side, and they have weaved this great run as a result.

On paper, United are a real force to reckon with. They were not realising that potential in 2018, but now things have changed. On current form, they are bound to be in the mix for the Champions League places come May. Six points are just two games, after all.
