Manchester United have been handed a major boost to their top-four chances before getting down to business against Bournemouth on Tuesday night (8pm). United have won five straight matches in all competitions while an impressive return to domestic matters has seen them climb up to fourth in the standings.
Victory against the Cherries would move them up another spot. In that scenario, they would find themselves five points clear of Tottenham in fifth and in pole position to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Of course, there is still a long way to go and United must continue their impressive run against Bournemouth first, but there are promising signs for Erik ten Hag and his players. That is especially the case after rivals Liverpool were beaten 3-1 by surprise package Brentford on Monday night.
