We dont have to beat Leicester. A draw is just fine to secure top 4.
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."

If it weren't for him we'd of lost today, he held that defence togetherMaguire,what a waste.
80 million
Comes down to the last match of the season. We just never do it the easy way
What a massive match for us. I wonder if the lads will be able to get through it.
A point is all we need, but with leicester being very well rested, and us on our last legs...we might be in deep shite if we go down a goal first.

This. Ole won't get us anywhere in the CL.
I’m not convinced of that either.
Can't see Leicester getting the win. Too many key players out for them now Maddison, Chilwell, Ricardo and Soyuncu. They'll rue throwing away their GD advantage to Bournemouth & Spurs where a draw would have been enough.
Yeah, same. I was genuinely concerned at half-time.
We're at our most dangerous when the opposition attacks us, and that's exactly what Leicester will have to do if they want top-four.

As I said, boys, our form is constantly slipping. I'm not confident going into Leicester at all.

We are dead on our feet, can't see us having enough to get a result against Leicester. A better team would have taken us apart tonight.

Let's watch us try and sit back. You just know Ole will set us up that way.
Bottlers...
Terrible years after Fergie. ;(

Absolute state of this place. Cop yourself on and go de-stress. All we need to do is draw against a Leicester team that are ravaged with injuries.
My word.
My word.
I take it a draw today means we qualify ?
No Sancho without cl imo
No?
Actually you’re right ffs. I’m expecting anything but a dipper win.
So win or draw and we’re in top 4.
If Chelsea lose tonight and against Wolves we can also lose.

We do not deserve it anyway tbh. Leicester was better overall in comparison to their budget.
Hardly the end of the world is it?
Pretty sure it does.
It means no matter what result you have on the final day and even if we lose to wolves we finish at least 4th ???
Aiy true.
Not easy being a Manchester United fan
We just love leaving it to the last minute. This will be a real test for the team though. Will they have the willpower to see it through. It will really be about mental strength more than anything on the weekend.
We are running on fumes again and leicester have had a weeks rest.
Have you seen us?
But in all seriousness...Leicester will have had 1 weeks rest. We're spent. Vardy will have a field day against lindelof
To be honest I'd feel more comfortable if Leicester have the best fielding 11 they could have. Whenever there are circumstances to aid our favour the team and Ole included end up collapsing.
We've definitely been poor, but... the scheduling of games has put us at such a disadvantage. We seem to have had less rest time than any of our opposition over the past couple of weeks. Leicester will have had 3 more days' rest than us, which gives them a huge advantage.
We're really trying our damnest to feck it all up. It's the post-2013 United way
Don't see them dropping 6 points though. Especially not against wolves at home.
Regardless, its in our hands isn't it? We don't even need to get a win. A draw will suffice. Lets see if the lads can find it in them to get over the finishing line.
The fitness needs to improve somehow by Sunday. Maybe pep has some of his injections he can lend us.
See the edit.
Yep, probably a 3-5-2 formation and hit them on the counter. Don’t know why but we’ve had some success with it against the big teams this season. Chelsea 3 times and city.
Anyway, would rather play 4-3-3 and go all in from the start.
Defensive lineup is Made for meltdown
Definitely fancy Leicester to beat us at the King Power, so we need Chelsea to lose tonight and lose to Wolves.
Yup. You need just 1 point to qualify in your last 2 games actually. If you lose today, it will be very unnerving for the fans of 3 teams going into Sunday.
They're not losing 2 games in a row!
So we need a draw to get top 4 which mean you know we will lose not getting top 4 will set us back years this time no Sancho no extra money for players I hate being a pessemist but were either knackered bottlers or both cant decide which
If you’d have told me in January we’d be third on the last day and needed to draw against Leicester without key players to qualify I would have taken it.Hardly the end of the world is it?
We were something stupid like 12 points behind them.
Nor do I but it’s possible and so we could be having a hissy fit over nothing.
We’ve kept it in our hands on the last day has we lost I would have been more concerned.
God if there was ever a time for a jose shut out at anfield today !
Leicester have attackers who can actually string two passes in the final third. They will have more in attack and want it more than Westham. Will be a very interesting game come Sunday.
Hopefully we manage atleast a draw against the scousers.

The state of this thread. If you can't stand a bit of anxiety then don't support a football team.
Wish a load of you would grow a pair.
Loving the tension if not the play at the moment, can't wait for Sunday.

If that's the case we're sunk. We're mentally one if the weakest United teams I've seen, if not the weakest. Where was the response today after the equaliser to get the job done?Aiy true.

A result for Chelsea tonight and its hard to see them not finishing the season in 3rd. As for United squeaky bum time going into the final match of the league season.
Yeah. I think you will get beat today and draw against Wolves. The final place will basically be a face-off between us and Leicester.
I'm as critical of a fan as anyone, but it was clear the legs were gone. I feel the players gave their all and really fought. Just that their bodies were at breaking point. You can tell with Rashford and Pogba especially.
I don't know how we will get over the finishing line playing like this at leiceister. They will be well rested and up for it, despite injuries.
Hopefully we get the early goal first from a counter attack, as the onus is on them to come forwards.
