Premier League table analysis for the 2022/23 season
Hosting Chelsea in the make-up match of round 32 of the Premier League, MU only needs one point to officially have a place in the top 4.
However, coach Erik ten Hag's team did even better when they won a resounding 4-1 victory.
The goals of the Old Trafford home team were scored by Casemiro (6th minute), Martial (45+5 minute), Bruno Fernandes (73rd minute, penalty) and Rashford (78th minute).
The Blues' honorary goal belonged to substitute player Joao Felix (minute 89).
This result not only helped MU win a ticket to the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 with one match left, but also helped them surpass Newcastle to take 3rd place in the rankings before the final match.
In round 38, also taking place at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday (May 28), MU will still play at home to welcome Fulham, while the "Magpies" will travel to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.
Therefore, the Red Devils of Manchester are wide open to end the season in 3rd place overall.
Thus, the top 4 Premier League 2022/23 is decided with the championship belonging to Man City, Arsenal in the runner-up position, along with MU and Newcastle participating in the highest European club competition next season.
Liverpool and Brighton compete in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, in the relegation race, after Southampton officially relegated to the Championship, Leicester and Leeds Utd have a slim chance of staying in the Premier League next season.
Everton is in 17th place, with 33 points, 2 points more than the 18th-placed "Foxes" but is not yet certain and still needs a win in the final round.
