Manchester United is in a crisis of losing four games in a row, and the pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal in the next two games will be doubled

On January 2, the 19th round of the Premier League ended, and Manchester United lost 0-2 to Newcastle at home, suffering a four-game losing streak in the league. This result put the Red Devils in a difficult situation. Not only did the ranking continue to decline, but the team was only 7 points away from the relegation zone. In this situation, Manchester United will soon face two strong teams, Liverpool and Arsenal, and the situation will be even more serious.

 

Manchester United's four-game losing streak began with the defeat in the EFL Cup. After the 3-4 loss to Tottenham, the team seemed to be unable to recover. After that, the Premier League lost one after another: 0-3 to Bournemouth, 0-2 to Wolves, and then 0-2 to Newcastle at home. In the past three league games, Manchester United not only lost 7 goals, but also did not score a goal, and there were many problems on both the offensive and defensive ends.

 

Currently, Manchester United ranks 14th in the Premier League with 22 points , only 7 points ahead of the relegation zone. Although the team's performance has been up and down in recent years, it is extremely rare for them to be on the verge of relegation. The next two games are even more crucial. The Red Devils will play against the league leader Liverpool and the rival Arsenal respectively, and the situation is not optimistic.

 

The next match between the two teams will be a big test for Manchester United this season. Liverpool is in hot form, leading Arsenal by 6 points with one game less, and is at the top of the Premier League. As the team with the most goals and the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League this season, Liverpool's strength is unquestionable. However, Manchester United's current problems on both offense and defense make their hopes of winning points at Anfield slim.

 

After the Anfield match, Manchester United will go to the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal. Although the Gunners are currently ranked second in the Premier League, they are still far stronger than Manchester United. If Manchester United continues to lose, their morale will inevitably be further frustrated, which will have a serious impact on the team's future development.

 

It is not easy for Manchester United to improve the situation in the short term. Although changing the coach is a common solution, it is not the best time. What the team needs more is to stabilize the current lineup, get rid of the threat of relegation as soon as possible, and make plans for next season.

 

Manchester United's current situation is worrying, but as a historic giant, they still have the opportunity to gradually recover through internal adjustments. The next game is not only a test of the players' strength, but also a challenge to the wisdom and determination of the team's management. In any case, the Red Devils fans hope that they can get out of the predicament as soon as possible and reproduce their former glory.
