Overview
- United’s recent sequence features three straight league wins followed by a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest, extending their unbeaten run to four.
 - One outlet reports United have taken 10 points from the last 12, including a 2-1 victory at Anfield, placing them two points behind Manchester City after 10 games.
 - Lee Sharpe says the current trajectory makes a top-four finish a realistic target this season.
 - Sharpe also contends Ruben Amorim’s animated touchline manner could settle once the team sustains a longer run of consistent results.
 - The Forest draw coincided with the first anniversary of Amorim’s appointment, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe offering public backing for his rebuild as Portuguese reports speculate about a future Benfica role.
