After the second "Manchester City Derby" in this season's league, the Premier League championship battle this season is almost a winner. As the defending champion, Manchester United doubled home and away as the challenger in two league collisions this season!

In this case, if "Blue Moon" still has hope of winning the championship, it would be really unreasonable. First of all, Manchester United has performed poorly in many games throughout the season and has failed, and then Manchester City's overall performance this season is better than Manchester United.

But obviously...this is not the case!

Even though Manchester City has performed very well this season, especially after introducing the "Demon" Haaland during the winter transfer period, Guardiola's team seems to have shown an invincible momentum recently, but if we say the team that performed the best this season... it must be Manchester United!

As the defending champion, the "Red Devils" performed the most stable and outstanding in the league this season. Otherwise, they would not be the turn of them to sit in the position of the leader of the list. They even maintained a 6-point lead over Manchester City even if they played one round less!

But even so, Solskjaer and Manchester United quickly felt the pressure from their competitors...

On March 14, due to the influence of two consecutive matches with Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, Manchester United unexpectedly tied with Bournemouth at home in the 29th round of the Premier League. Although Manchester United had an absolute advantage in the 90-minute game in the game, they failed to score even a goal in the end. Yang Xiaozhuang performed very hard in the frontcourt, but helpless... The quality of the passing ball sent by his teammates was not very high. Coupled with Bournemouth's 4-1-4-1 iron barrel formation, the "Red Devils" had no choice but to accept a draw.

In this round of game, Manchester City, ranked second in the standings, defeated the "Blue Army" Chelsea with a score of 3:0 at home with Haaland's double score and a header from Laporte.

In this way, although Manchester United still maintains its advantage over Manchester City in the standings with one game less, the gap between the two sides has narrowed to 4 points.

On March 18, Manchester United scored 0:6 with Newcastle at St James Park with Yang Xiaozhuang's "big four-game" and Martial's "two-scoring" scored with Newcastle.

At the same time, Manchester City also defeated Bournemouth with a score of 1:0 on the road...

The two teams still maintain a 4-point difference, and Manchester United still leads in one round of the game, but... With seven rounds left in the league, Manchester United's score difference still seems not so safe. After all, even if there is a supplementary game as a buffer, the league has reached the final stage, and each team has begun to fight for their own goals. At this time, the gap in strength between the teams is no longer the key to determining the outcome of the game.

What if... Manchester United fails?

What's more, Manchester United is not only going to bear the pressure from their league competitors. After reaching the Champions League quarterfinals, the opponents they encounter will become stronger and stronger. This time the opponents they meet are those who have always performed well in the Champions League in the past two seasons... Monaco!

Two years ago, Manchester United encountered Monaco in the final and defeated their opponents to win the cup. Last season, Monaco reached the semi-finals of the Champions League under the leadership of Jaldiem, but in the end it lost to the "old woman" Juventus.

This season, Monaco met Manchester United early. Even if Manchester United is absolutely confident that their strength will definitely be stronger than their opponents, facing this French team that has reached the Champions League finals in the past two seasons, there should not be any negligence.

Under the dual pressures of the league and Champions League, Solskjaer and Manchester United coaching staff made a wise decision... Give up the FA Cup!

Even though Manchester United has reached the quarterfinals in the FA Cup this season, they still "work hard" to score 5:2 against Everton away. Yang Xiaozhuang easily staged a "two-scoring" in the first half of this game, but Manchester United still lost the FA Cup game "as they wished", because during the halftime, Solskjaer "injured" Yang Xiaozhuang.

The main scorers were injured, so if they lost "accidentally" in this game... it would be reasonable!

But... acting in full!

At the post-match press conference, Solskjaer said with an upset look, "We are a little bit unlucky", "I don't want to talk about Yang's injury", "We will adjust our condition as soon as possible".

It seems that Solskjaer is really dissatisfied, but in fact, after losing this FA Cup game, Solskjaer was relieved. Now Manchester United can finally do their best in the league and the Champions League.

FA Cup?

As for the current situation of Manchester United's first team, those games may become opportunities for training in the last few rounds of the league. On the contrary, if Manchester United reaches the FA Cup semi-finals, they will inevitably be distracted by the two home and away games. What if... what if... they... reach the final?

A championship trophy is placed in front of you. Do you think you should take it or not?

Take it, you have to fight with your opponent. Some accidents may happen at that time. But even if you get the FA Cup, it is actually useless for Manchester United. The "Red Devils" don't need to win the FA Cup to qualify for European competitions.

But if you don’t work hard in the FA Cup final, you don’t have to think about it. Next season, the FA will definitely let you understand why the flowers are so popular!

If you don’t want to win the FA Cup, then why are you going to the finals? Do you deliberately lower your FA Cup finals?

The FA has always known that the FA Cup is actually meaningless in the eyes of the Premier League team. It has won only a small amount of bonuses and a qualification to participate in the Europa League next season. However, as a strong team in the Premier League, they are not fighting against the Europa League, but the Champions League!

So the FA's attitude towards the FA Cup held by itself is that all teams can be used to train, but if you just want to train, then give up early, at least you can't reach the final. Otherwise, in the FA Cup final, no matter which team it is, you will not look down on the FA Cup even if you are half-stop. You have to play hard in the finals, otherwise... you will be responsible for the consequences!
