The 12-match "easy" streak of Rangnick and his students in the Premier League has ended. Manchester United won 6, drew 5 and lost 1. If we cover up M.U's opponents, it seems that this team did well because they blocked the losing streak as in the late days of Solskjaer. However, the M.U teams that have dropped points such as Newcastle, Watford, Burnley, ... are all names that are or have been in the relegation zone. 5 weak draws have caused the team to lose up to 10 points and fall into a situation where Arsenal could drop them out of the Top 4 at any time.
Putting aside the recent poor run, M.U is preparing to enter next March with only 4 matches but is considered to be decisive in the success or failure of this season.
The first match on March 6 against Manchester City away. In the first leg of this season's Premier League, the two sides have met and M.U lost 0-2. This score did not necessarily make the "Red Devils" fans feel ashamed if they did not watch the match live. On the contrary, for those who follow it, Man United is weak and much inferior to their opponents in the same city.
Throughout the match, M.U did not have a single shot and coordinated to take their breath away. Meanwhile, the away team only needed to control at a moderate level and successfully stabbed him twice to the death. In the upcoming return match, when Man City is needing to speed up to cut Liverpool's tail, let's see what Man United are preparing to suffer at the Etihad is more terrible than the result at Old Trafford.
In the next match on March 13, Conte's Tottenham are in a state of chaos after losing continuously in recent times, and the Spurs captain himself has also made disappointing statements. However, Tottenham is still a team in the Big 6, the possibility of M.U being left out is always there.
If Spurs re-determin their goal is a Europa League ticket, Kane and his teammates will not miss any chance to decide to win 3 points. Man City was defeated by Tottenham, Man United had a lesson. However, whether Ronaldo and his teammates can decode it or not is another matter. Having the away goal ruled out means Elanga's goal at Wanda Metropolitano last week is almost meaningless for Man United in terms of the advantage. The recent match in Spain proved that only luck could help the "Red Devils" not lose by a large margin.
This home match (16.3) cannot be considered Old Trafford as a big plus for M.U because throughout this season, weak teams like Watford can still have gifts to leave. Atletico Madrid have been very strong in the Champions League for more than 10 years, perhaps the quarter-final ticket is too much for M.U.
The last match in March, on the 20th, will be a reunion with Liverpool. In the first leg of this season, Liverpool scored 5 goals against M.U at Old Trafford. Another empty-handed end has been envisioned for Rangnick and his students, the problem is to limit as many goals as possible, thereby having a reason to stick to the Top 4 race.
Klopp once said with the intention that Liverpool did not want to score more goals in the first leg because they wanted to respect M.U at Old Trafford. This time at Anfield, things will not be transferred like that anymore.
