Supercomputer predicts Manchester United's chances of top four finish after Tottenham win

Manchester United defeated Antonio Conte's Tottenham side on Wednesday night in a clash which saw Erik ten Hag's charges close the gap on the current top four. The team won 2-0 thanks to goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes.

Many fans labelled United's performance at Old Trafford as one of their best since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson. They were completely dominant, registering 28 shots on goal and Tottenham had no reply.

Despite all this however, the super computer over at FiveThirtyEight remains unconvinced of United's top four chances. It is only Ten Hag's first season but given the topsy-turvy nature of the league so far, with Liverpool stalling and Arsenal flying high in first, there is a real chance he can secure a Champions League spot this season.
