a schedule of Man United’s upcoming six Premier League games as they look to maintain their top-four position.
Manchester United’s spirited 2-1 victory over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Sunday afternoon brought them to within five points of the top four spots in the Premier League.
As he maintained his stellar play, Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in the first seven minutes to give United the lead right away. Nevertheless, Luton bounced back from those two early losses, scoring through Carlton Morris after just 14 minutes of play.
Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes had the finest opportunities for United to regain their two-goal lead in the second half, but Luton persevered to the very end to win a share of the spoils. As of right now, United has prevailed in all four of their league games.
Despite Aston Villa’s victory over Fulham on Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Wolves at home by the same score. In the standings, United is currently only three points behind the London team and five behind Villa.
As the competition for Champions League qualification heats up, MEN Sport has examined United’s upcoming six league games and contrasted them with those of their closest rivals vying for the same prize.

Conclusion: Although the match against Sheffield United will be rescheduled should United advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals later this month, United’s next slate of games presents a variety of unique obstacles. They will go into the majority of them as favorites, however one notable exception is the journey to the Etihad Stadium to play City in two weeks.
