Manchester United suffered a 14th Premier League defeat of the season on Sunday after being beaten 1-0 by Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Leandro Tossard scored the only goal of the game, converting Kai Havertz's low cross with just 20 minutes on the clock. United, to their credit, pushed for an equaliser but failed to carve out any clear-cut and meaningful opportunities.
The defeat has left them eighth in the table with just two games left to play. They face Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and then travel to Brighton & Hove Albion on the final day of the season on Sunday.

As a result, it is hardly surprising the odds are stacked against United when it comes to challenging for sixth. According to a specialist supercomputer by BonusCodeBets, United
