Manchester United has been enjoying a rich vein of form recently and has every chance of going top of the league considering Liverpool’s horrendous for in recent fixtures but will they be able to break this psychological barrier.
Manchester United hasn’t got their hands-on silverware for 2 years now and that can be quite a frustrating thing especially the way they bowed out of domestic competitions last year around.
Manchester United seems to be riding high on confidence and their defence finally seems to have sorted themselves out but in the last few seasons if there is anything that seems to be lacking it is consistency among the squad.
This inconsistency is also one of the reasons why Manchester United have dropped down to the Europa League despite getting substantial victories in their group fixtures.
Manchester United has a tough ask with their city rivals Manchester City who would be looking to make the most of any domestic opportunity as the premier league or European accolades may seem hard to get by.
A stern test awaits the red devils in the form of Guardiola’s men and even if they somehow manage to get past this, they will face bitter rivals Tottenham in the finals with whom their recent history is not very good, to say the least.
At the beginning of the season Manchester United had faced a humiliating 6-1 defeat to spurs at home and what made things worse is that it was managed by ex-Manchester United Coach Jose Mourinho.
The scars of that day may still be present in the minds of the players but I hope that they can overcome all these barriers and finally bring some silverware back to the theatre of dreams.
