This result makes both MU and Tottenham continue to stand in the bottom half of the Premier League rankings, in 14th and 16th place respectively. It can be considered that they have given up on the domestic arena.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest regained 3rd place with 60 points, along with the teams right behind Newcastle (59 points), Man City (58 points), Chelsea and Aston Villa both with 57 points, fiercely competing for 3 main spots to participate in the Champions League in the remaining 5 rounds. In the next season 2025 - 2026, the Premier League has 5 spots to participate in the Champions League.

The top team Liverpool (79 points) has secured a spot and a chance to be crowned champions soon with the upcoming match against Tottenham at 10:30 p.m. on April 27. Behind, Arsenal (66 points) also has a chance to secure a spot.

Therefore, the rest of the season is only hot with the race for the top 5. At the bottom of the table, after Leicester and Southampton were relegated, the 3rd team is about to follow, Ipswich Town, with only 21 points, 15 points behind the closest team in the relegation position, West Ham.

The 2025-2026 Premier League will also soon welcome two promoted teams, Leeds United and Burnley, to replace the relegated teams above. The remaining spots will be determined through the play-off round.

Teams that have been in decline this season, such as MU, are now planning to strengthen their squad. Among them, the addition of quality players such as Matheus Cunha, 25 years old, Brazilian, who has scored 16 goals and had 4 assists for Wolverhampton this season.

"Cunha has had the first contacts with MU. The feeling is good after the meetings. Personal terms are being discussed, because MU knows that Cunha is also interested by many other clubs. MU is leading the race, after knowing the details of the contract release clause worth 62.5 million pounds," said journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's number 1 centre-back Cristian Romero has unexpectedly revealed the possibility of leaving the club at the end of the season. He said: "We are in the semi-finals of the Europa League, I want to finish the season on a high note. After that, let's wait and see. The tournament I want to play in the most is La Liga in Spain, to compete with all the major tournaments."
