Man Utd haven't beaten a team in the Top 10 since December 2014
In the remaining crucial rounds, coach Louis van Gaal's team will face many strong teams, with concerns about their head-to-head record.
Having been knocked out of the FA Cup by Arsenal, Man Utd are now focusing all their efforts on the Premier League. With a 10-point gap and their current inconsistent form, their most realistic goal right now is to finish the season in the Top 4 to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Man Utd still hold the right to decide, with fourth place on the scoreboard but danger is always lurking as right behind them are Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton.
Statistics also show that Van Gaal's Man Utd have not beaten a team in the Top 10 since defeating Liverpool in mid-December last year. The teams the "Red Devils" have defeated in recent times are Burnley, Leicester, QPR, Sunderland, who are struggling in the relegation zone. Their two losses since January have come against Swansea and Southampton.
In the next five rounds, they will face four of the six teams in the top half of the table, including tough opponents such as Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Everton and Arsenal.
Man Utd's opponents in the remaining 10 rounds:
Against Tottenham (home): 15/3
