Manchester United FC manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is aiming for a third-place finish in the Premier League table. The Red Devils boss says so after the 3-nil thumping of Sheffield United. Manchester United sit at fifth place in the league table, with five points behind Chelsea and six points behind Leicester City.
Liverpool have been as crowned champions after Chelsea beat Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. The third and fourth places in the Premier League are still up for grabs with Leicester City dropping points constantly. The difference of points between third-placed Leicester and sixth-placed Wolves is just six points.
The Red Devils manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the Red Devils can achieve a third-place finish amidst the chaos. United are on a 13-match unbeaten streak and have the easiest run-in leading to the end of the season. But it all might come down the wire when Leicester City play United in the last match-day of the season.
Before facing Leicester City, the Red Devils face four relegation-battling sides and two very mediocre sides in Southampton and Crystal Palace. United are expected to win all six of these matches, especially with the form they are in. Come the end of the season, United might find themselves with a respectable third-place finish in the Premier League.
Chelsea FC also have an easy run-in but have relatively trickier opponents with Watford and Liverpool. Chelsea face already-champions Liverpool on the final day of the season. Chelsea were touted to drop points against Manchester City but came out victorious against the Cityzens.
Leicester City, on the other hand, have been consistently poor after the turn of 2020. The Foxes have won just thrice out of the 11 games they have played in 2020. They have a difficult run-in towards the end of the season with games against Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United.
The future of Manchester United, Leicester City, and Chelsea hangs in the balance, as they are separated by just six points. The quest for elite European football will see the Premier League having a blockbuster ending. Manchester United look in a strong position to end the season well and the manger is as optimistic as ever.
