Manchester United: 3 Reasons why the Red Devils can still make the top four

#2 The Perfect Inspiration

Paul Pogba will be pivotal to Manchester United's quest for a top 4 finish

Last season, City came to United knowing that a victory would see them win the Premier League. United were expected to lose and went 2 goals behind in the first half. It was then time for a remarkable comeback, as the Red Devils won the game 3-2 and spoiled City's party.

The stakes are higher for both teams this season and what better inspiration do United need than to defeat City to secure a Champions League spot? While it is easier said than done, United under Solskjaer have shown the ability to achieve the impossible. And they will need to summon all their courage as they play Chelsea within 4 days of the City game.

The recent bad run will have galvanized the team. Continued criticism and taunts from opposition fans, players and even managers might work in United's favour in the end. The Red Devils have traditionally played extremely well with their back against the wall and the situation has presented itself again this season.

A week that has games against City and Chelsea could finally see United take a stand. It could be the perfect week of inspiration that drives the Red Devils to put together a fine run of games and secures them a Champions League spot for next season.
