Despite starting the season in disappointing fashion, Manchester United have clawed back some of the lost ground over the festive period, and going into the new year, here’s three reason why United can finishing in the top four this season.
1. Moyes adjusting to the role
David Moyes initially seemed lost in his role as the manager of Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson’s shoes seemed too big to fill for the Scotsman. However, following some disappointing performances in the league, United have stumbled upon some form and have won their last four games on the bounce following two consecutive defeats.
They are now just three points off the fourth spot and with 19 games to go, they have a really good chance of catching up their rivals for the fourth and final Champions League spot. Moyes now has had time to get adjusted with the squad and is now aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the players, which will allow him to make the most of second half of the season.
