I think this is more of a must win game than assumed actually. Sure, even if we (United) were to win this one and beat Arsenal, we'd still be relying on you guys slipping up badly for any actual shot of the title. The rest of the games are pretty much a formality for you guys now, though it would be nice for us to apply some pressure, you've basically walked through this season with ease and that's not a good look for apparently the toughest league in the world.
I mean more long run. United are at a point now where it's finally looking like we're at the end of the "transitional period" with a string of good (and surprising) results. You guys, for next season, are gonna want to stop us in our tracks. If we beat you guys and the arse we're gonna be looking for winning the rest of the games of the season and your gap isn't going to seem so impressive when a team who got hammered 5-3 by Leicester are right behind you, and that's gonna be a hell of a boost in the transfer market for us. But more importantly, it could mean United are properly back. Jose's long term plans for complete destruction of the league will be challenged by about the only other team capable of doing so right now. If you want a slightly easier season next time, you're not gonna want to give us any more potential than we already have.
