With their exit from the FA Cup against Arsenal , Manchester United 's attention now rests solely on their Premier League campaign . Supporters wo n't expect Louis van Gaal to be winning any silverware this season , but a top four finish is a must for a club that invested heavily in the summer . Is that now a realistic possibility , though ? United have n't beaten a side currently in the top half of the Premier League since their home win against Liverpool in mid December last year . Manchester United face a testing final 10 games in the Premier League , they 'll play all of their rivals . Louis van Gaal has won less than half of his games against side 's in the top six of the Premier League . To make matters worse , they now face the prospect of playing four of the top six in their next five games ( and all of them before the end of the season ) . With Liverpool just a point behind United in the league , and Tottenham a further two points behind them , Van Gaal knows he ca n't afford to slip up . His record against the top six , though , is not especially encouraging . A fortuitous win at Arsenal and comfortable victory against an out-of-form Liverpool are the only notable moments . Monday 's FA Cup tie proves the Gunners will be no pushover and Liverpool are unbeaten in the league since their loss at Old Trafford in 2014 . With just 10 games to go until the end of the campaign - half are away from home and half are against direct rivals - Van Gaal and his side will need to show considerably better form to secure Champions League football next season .

Liverpool ( A ) - Sunday March 22 . A formidable proposition for Van Gaal . Liverpool have n't lost in the league in three months and have won nine of their last 11 matches . Aston Villa ( H ) - Saturday April 4 . A month ago United fans would have considered this an easy win but Tim Sherwood has reinvigorated Villa , who have now won their last two games in all competitions . Liverpool have not lost a Premier League game since they were beaten by United in December 2014 . United still have to host their fiercest rivals , and Premier League champions , Manchester City .

United lost to their rivals 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium , City are n't in the most convincing spell of form but they are the Premier League champions nonetheless . Chelsea ( A ) - Saturday April 18 . Away at the league leaders . This is n't a match Van Gaal can rely on getting anything from . Everton ( A ) - Sunday April 26 . Everton have struggled this season but Goodison Park is always a difficult place to go , as United know well from recent history . A trip to league leaders Chelsea will be arguably the most difficult challenge of United 's season .
