Winning 4 consecutive matches, does MU still have a chance to compete for the title?

Following the 2-0 victory over Tottenham at Old Trafford in the 25th round, MU strengthened their 4th position with 44 points, simultaneously sparking the major question: Can the Red Devils still contend for the title?

Theoretically, the door remains open for Manchester United. If they keep up their current winning momentum, MU can definitely close the gap with the teams above, including Man City, Aston Villa, and Arsenal. However, to turn “possible” into “reality,” MU needs more than just a short winning streak. The Red Devils must prove their endurance over the long haul, where a single slip could ruin everything.

The most obvious positive is their fitness advantage. MU is only competing in the Premier League now, so their schedule is lighter, recovery time is longer, and they have more opportunity to prepare thoroughly for each match. In the Premier League, where the pace of a game every three days can wear down any squad, having less congestion sometimes creates a real edge.

From a tactical perspective, Carrick has helped MU play sharper in key moments. The team transitions quickly, counterattacks efficiently, and most importantly, knows how to finish chances—something that was a major problem in previous phases. Their attacking patterns are clearer, involving more short passes, better coordinated support runs, and well-maintained spacing between lines. As each link begins to understand the others, MU looks more like a structured unit rather than a team relying on moments of brilliance.

Of course, MU is not flawless yet. Their defense sometimes shows gaps, especially in high pressing situations like the match against Fulham. But overall, compared to the pre-Carrick era, their control and discipline have improved significantly.

Therefore, the biggest question is not whether MU can keep winning, but how long they can sustain this pace. Winning the title requires not only a streak of excellent matches but also the ability to consistently earn points even when playing below par. And when a loss inevitably comes—almost certain for the rest of the season—MU must prove they won’t collapse in a domino effect.

So, does MU still have a chance at the championship? Yes, but it’s very slim. MU must continue winning and hope the teams above falter enough times. From their current position, the most realistic goal remains securing a top 4 spot, while the title race will only become truly relevant if MU extends this form for several more rounds and significantly narrows the gap. Only then can the “dream” turn into a genuine chase.
