If Manchester United plan on finishing in the Top 4 this season, they need to start winning Premier League matches. Not drawing, winning. While United are undefeated in over three months, they’re still in sixth place in the table, the exact same slot that they were in back in October when they were having a dreadful time.
As the calendar flipped to 2017, United’s positive momentum halted as they dropped points against both Hull City and Stoke City.
Jose Mourinho can blast the officials and a journalist all he wants, but eventually the buck stops with him. The Red Devils had one of their more impressive outings this season in the home clash with Leicester City, and Super Sunday now brings the away match versus the reigning Premier League champions.
