Man United moved back to within eight points of the top four following Saturday lunchtime's 2-0 win over Everton.
Former striker Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United's inconsistency will prevent them from securing a top four finish this season.
Fourth-place Aston Villa horns with Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon. So United had to secure maximum points to capitalise on the certainty of at least one of them dropping points. In an ideal world, United could do with that Villa versus Spurs game ending in a draw.READ MORE: United goalkeeper Andre Onana makes a personal promise to fans after Everton win
Asked on TNT Sports if the amount of shots per 90 minutes that United are conceding is sustainable, Rooney said: "No, and I think that is what we've seen that throughout the season. I don't think Manchester United will make the top four because they'll have to win almost every game. "Today, I think they conceded 20-odd chances against them but there were no clear cut chances for Everton. But it is too many. It is too easy for teams to get opportunities against them."
