Man United had been on a roll in the English Premier League over the past few months and a series of good results saw them move to the top of the table.
But a loss to Sheffield United and then a draw against Arsenal have seen them slip out of the first spot and right now, a number of teams are breathing down their necks.
Man United failed to break down both Arsenal and the Blades last week which is something a team like Man City and Liverpool would not have found difficult. And according to former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor, the sheer determination to win matches could be a major deciding factor in the Premier League title challenge.
He told talkSPORT, as per The Express: “A lot of teams have been dropping points this season, and that’s why it’s been a crazy season and anyone can win the title.
“You look at Man United’s players and they should be looking to be in the top four positions.
“But going off their performance [against Arsenal] and their performance against Sheffield United, you can’t see this Manchester United team winning the title.
“Against Arsenal, they didn’t look like a team that was hungry to win games or win the title.
“If that was Manchester City they would have found a way to win because they want to win the title.
“They believe they can, Liverpool believe they still can – but this Manchester United team looks like they will take top four. They are not really looking to win the title.”
Man United seem to have taken their foot off the gas in the past few months and in that same period, both Man City and Liverpool have picked up their form in the Premier League.
City are perhaps the most comfortably placed side on the table right now and after beating Spurs and West Ham United, Liverpool are also sitting quite close to the top of the table.
We also don’t see Man United overshadowing teams like Manchester City and Liverpool to win the Premier League title this season but their fine form should be enough to help them secure a Champions League spot for the 2021-22 season.
