Notable recent performances include a 3-1 win over Brentford on January 1, a 1-0 victory against Ipswich on December 27, and a dominant 5-1 triumph over Crystal Palace on December 21.

How is Manchester United performing?

Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim, has experienced inconsistent results recently. Their most recent game ended in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, a thrilling encounter where their attack impressed, but defensive lapses proved costly. Earlier, they fell 0-2 to Newcastle, exposing weaknesses in marking and defensive organization.

United has also delivered standout performances, including a 2-1 victory against Manchester City on December 15, demonstrating their ability to excel in high-pressure situations. However, defeats like the 0-3 loss to Bournemouth and the 2-3 draw with Nottingham Forest raise questions about tactical consistency. Their 3-2 win over Bodo Glimt in the Europa League highlights their potential on the international stage.
