According to the projection, Manchester United’s recent resurgence under Erik ten Hag has significantly boosted their chances of finishing ahead of both Liverpool and Arsenal — two clubs long considered frontrunners in the race. The supercomputer factors in form, squad depth, fixture difficulty, and player statistics, and after United’s string of strong results, it now ranks them as genuine challengers to Manchester City for the top spot.
This marks a remarkable turnaround for the club, who began the campaign inconsistently but have since rediscovered their rhythm. Victories over Liverpool, Brighton, and Newcastle have not only lifted morale but also restored confidence in the team’s tactical approach.
Liverpool’s dip in form and Arsenal’s recent struggles against mid-table opponents have further opened the door for United to climb. The data model suggests that United’s current attacking efficiency — paired with one of the league’s best defensive records in recent weeks — could propel them into the top two by the end of the season.
For United supporters, the optimism is palpable. After a few turbulent months, the possibility of finishing above their biggest rivals — and even competing for the title — feels more realistic than ever.
Whether or not the prediction proves accurate, one thing is clear: Manchester United have forced themselves back into the Premier League conversation, and momentum is firmly on their side.
