Manchester United raised their hopes of a top-four finish when they beat Unai Emery's fine Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Red Devils got off to a bad start as they struggled to let Villa open the scoring right from the start. However, their persistence paid off when Fernandes scored late in the first half after Emiliano Martinez saved Marcus Rashford's shot. The visitors came back stronger, looking for an equalizer, but Manchester United organized solid defence, and they are especially grateful to their defenders, who gave their all to keep United ahead. until the last minute.
That being said, here's Manchester United's remaining fixture list, including some tough opponents threatening their first four prospects:
* Brighton v Manchester United (May 4, 2023)
Brighton and Manchester United still have backlog issues they must deal with on Thursday. Brighton won their first game of the season earlier this season at Old Trafford, but United recently beat Roberto De Zerbi's side in the FA Cup semi-finals after a tense shootout. Brighton will look for revenge and take advantage of opportunities at home. This match clearly threatens Manchester United's chances of finishing in the top four.
* West Ham v Manchester United (May 7, 2023)
Manchester United will face a struggling West Ham after facing Brighton. The Hammers have struggled to win recent matches and that has brought them closer to the relegation zone. They are currently 5 points ahead of the relegation group and hope not to drop any more points. This is another game that could derail Manchester United's top four prospects.
* Manchester United v Wolves (May 13, 2023)
Recently, coach Julen Lopetegui's army had to receive a 0-6 defeat against Brighton, showing that they are the weaker team in this match. With the current state, Manchester United will hope to take advantage of the situation and take all 3 points at home.
* Bournemouth v Manchester United (May 20, 2023)
This match comes a week after the Wolve game, giving United players more time to rest. Although the south coast team have won their recent head-to-head matches, their record against Manchester United shows they are the weaker team in their match.
* Manchester United v Chelsea (May 25, 2023)
Frank Lampard is under pressure after Chelsea's five-match losing streak under his leadership. Although United seem like a good candidate to take all three points, Chelsea will not fall without a fight. The final meeting ended in a 1-1 draw. This match can put the four biggest hopes of Man United in jeopardy. * Manchester United v Fulham (May 28, 2023)
Manchester United will end the season at home against Fulham. The Reds have beaten Fulham twice this season and I believe they will continue to win when this game is over.
