Manchester United are two points behind sixth-placed Newcastle United and behind seventh-placed

Manchester United’s remaining fixtures this season

The Red Devils lost 4-0 against Crystal Palace on Monday. Michael Olise’s brace (12′, 66′), Jean-Phillipe Mateta’s (40′), and Tyrick Mitchell’s (58′) goal secured a big win for the Eagles at home. They have now lost 13 of their 35 Premier League games this season, winning 16 and drawing six.

They will next host rivals and leaders Arsenal on Sunday (May 12). The Gunners are engaged in a title race with Manchester City and need to win their remaining games and hope City drop points to win the league. Post that, Manchester United will host Newcastle United, who sit two points above them.

The Red Devils will then face Brighton & Hove Albion away in their final league game before facing Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25. If they fail to do so through the league, United could qualify for the UEFA Europa League by winning the FA Cup.
