Competition for the 3rd position in the standings is heating up, after in yesterday's match Manchester United successfully beat Nottingham with a score of 2-0 without reply. These results make the red devils strong enough to win 59 points and are only 3 points away from nearest competitor Newcastle.
Indeed, the results of the previous defeat for Eddie Howie's squad meant that they had to go back down to 4th place, but their position was also not safe because Spurs were right below him. This will be competition again next week and unexpected results can still occur for the race for the 3rd position in the standings. However, if Erik ten hag's troops win the match again later, at least they will remain safe.
Manchester United's victory yesterday brought MU to third place in the standings and apart from that MU also benefited from the slippage of Newcastle and Tottenham. The Magpies lost to Aston Villa, meanwhile The Lilywhites were defeated by Bournemouth. Of course Manchester United are reaping the benefits in the competition for the top four positions.
As we also know that a hurricane of injuries is hitting MU. However, the former Crystal Palace player, Clinton Morrison, believes that the depth of the MU squad is capable enough to carry out the remaining matches this season. that's why MU won 2-0 over the host, Nottingham Forest and got full points, the Red Devils are predicted to be smooth to finish in the big four if they continue to be consistent with the remaining 7 matches this season.
