Supercomputer issues Manchester United prediction in Premier League top-four battle

Manchester United have been given a 39 per cent chance of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, following a recent upturn in form.

Despite being beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa in their first game under new head coach Unai Emery on Sunday, United have made significant strides in recent weeks. Since being humbled 6-3 by Manchester City in the derby at the start of October, the Reds have won three of their last six league matches, with their only defeat coming at Villa.

That recent run of results featured an excellent 2-0 win over top-four rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as well as a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Erik ten Hag is beginning to get a more consistent tune out of his players, even if the odd bump in the road is still to be expected.
