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.

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.
