Man Utd haven't beaten a Top 10 team since December 2014.

In the remaining crucial rounds, Louis van Gaal's team will face many strong opponents, raising concerns about their head-to-head record.

Having been knocked out of the FA Cup by Arsenal, Man Utd are now fully focused on the Premier League. With a 10-point gap and inconsistent form, their most realistic goal right now is to finish the season in the Top 4 to secure a place in next season's Champions League.

Man Utd still hold their fate in their own hands, sitting fourth in the table, but the threat is ever-present as Liverpool, Tottenham, and Southampton are just behind them.

Statistics also show that Van Gaal's Man Utd haven't beaten a top 10 team since their victory over Liverpool in mid-December last year. The only teams the "Red Devils" have defeated recently are Burnley, Leicester, QPR, and Sunderland, who are struggling in the relegation zone. Their two defeats since January were 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 like Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, and Arsenal.

Man Utd's opponents in the remaining 10 rounds:

Against Tottenham (home game): March 15th
Liverpool (away): March 22
Aston Villa (home): 4/4
Man City (home): April 12
Chelsea (away): April 18
Everton (away) 26/4
