Manchester United's Premier League run-in predicted as they bid for top four with Spurs and Liverpool

Manchester United have already enjoyed a great campaign but it won't count for much if they slip at the end.

Erik ten Hag has transformed the club from the toxic, disorganised rabble he inherited by bringing discipline, optimism and excitement back to Old Trafford. The manager has already exceeded the expectations placed upon him by ending United's long wait for a trophy with the Carabao Cup and there could be more to come in the FA Cup and Europa League.

The most important objective he was tasked with was securing a top-four finish and ensuring a return to the Champions League. It's crucial for the next stage in Ten Hag's project in order to be able to be in the race for the highest calibre of players, such as Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and Jude Bellingham, so they can finally launch a genuine title challenge.
