For all the progress Manchester United have made this season, the possibility of missing out on a return to Champions League football, after all, is becoming an alarming possibility.
Since ending the trophy drought at the end of February, United have begun to falter and lose their consistency as the demanding fixture schedule has taken its toll and injuries have stacked up. Even in the matches Erik ten Hag's side have managed to win in recent weeks, it's clear the team is fading and is desperate to reach the finish line after such a gruelling campaign.
United haven't scored more than two goals in a game since the FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham and all three of them only came after the Cottagers had imploded and seen two men sent off. After that, you have to go back to March 9 since the side's last dominant, comprehensive victory, when they stuck four past Real Betis.
