Manchester United don’t often seem to possess a great deal of fear or anxiety when it comes to performing under pressure, but it’s pretty easy to imagine that the Red Devils will be looking forward to a weekend during which they get the chance to watch their title rivals fight on in the league rather than having to go out on the pitch and ensure that they get a result or else risk seeing their lead slip and their rivals gain more and more confidence in their quest to win the Premier League.
However, although United may well worry that their main title rivals Arsenal are going to catch up with them and get closer to the league lead this weekend, the players also know that Arsenal’s game on Sunday against Liverpool is nothing even remotely close to a formality, and the chances are that they could still see their lead intact, and with Arsenal having wasted their game in hand over their rivals. The Premier League odds certainly suggest this could happen.
Despite this, United could well find themselves sitting there on Sunday evening having crashed out of the FA Cup and feeling anxious about how the Premier League title race is going to pan out should results go against them. Add to this potential equation the fact that United also have at least two Champions League games left to play and you can understand why Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad is about to be tested to the absolute limit. The football betting tips reflect this.
Ultimately, although a few players in the United squad will surely be about to see their mental resolve tested, if any one man can lead those under his control to glory despite immense pressure and expectations in all competitions, it’s Sir Alex.
