United's form has drastically improved recently with only one loss from their last five Premier League games. A 3-0 win over West Ham last weekend saw Ten Hag's side leapfrog the Hammers into sixth place in England's top-flight. They are still some way from a top-four place with eight points between the Red Devils and Aston Villa but the gap is closing. There is also an acceptance among United's board that Ten Hag has had to deal with a lot this season. However, that will not be the case if United don't put up a decent challenge for a top-four spot.
