Manchester United retained third place in the Premier League table over the weekend as Tottenham let a two-goal lead slip to draw 3-3 with relegation-threatened Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
It means United will occupy third over the current international break, ahead of resuming their league campaign against fellow top-four hopefuls Newcastle United on April 2. United, who are currently on 50 points, are two places and three points ahead of the Magpies in the table.
Although that contest at St. James' Park promises to play a key role in the race for a top-four finish, United remain a strong bet to secure Champions League qualification for next season. They have two games in hand on Tottenham and have proven that they can deliver the goods when needed to.
