Manchester United are unbeaten in 15 Premier League games yet they remain in sixth position, the place they have been stuck in since early November. The good news is United can start next week in fourth if Liverpool and Arsenal lose their matches on Saturday and United win, the bad news is United went down 3-1 to Watford in the reverse fixture in what was arguably the seasons’s poorest display.
