Despite a disappointing stalemate denting their top four hopes at the weekend, Manchester United may have gone another step closer to qualifying for Europe for next season.
The goalless draw with Watford has thrown their hopes of finishing fourth and securing a place in next season’s Champions League in serious doubt, with Arsenal just a couple of points behind and now with three games in hand.
And with the likes of West Ham, Tottenham and Wolves all still within touching distance, there is still the possibility United could miss out on qualifying for Europe altogether – although Liverpool may well have helped out on that front.
