Manchester United 5/6 to miss out on a top-four place following difficult run of games to come

Competition: Premier League
Market: Man Utd to finish outside of the top-four
Odds: 5/6 @ Coral

Manchester United haven’t been losing in the Premier League, but their victories have been far from convincing. Many believe their impressive run of form has come as a result of not facing elite Premier League sides, as the Red Devils have beaten the likes of Newcastle United (twice), Queens Park Rangers, Leicester City, Burnley and Sunderland.

In between the wins, they have dropped points to Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Stoke City, Southampton, West Ham and Swansea City, which suggests they aren’t quite the finished article in the race for a top-four place just yet. Louis van Gaal’s side scraped a 1-0 win away to Newcastle recently, which sees them fourth in the table with 10 games to go, but it’s very tight at the top.

5th-placed Liverpool are only two points adrift of United in the table, so any slip-up could see the Red Devils in trouble. And when looking at their games still to play, Manchester United’s top-four chances appear all the more slim. With Tottenham (home), Liverpool (away), Manchester City (home), Chelsea (away) and Arsenal (home) as half of their games to come, Coral are giving odds of 5/6for United to miss out on a top-four place come May.
