"It's so frustrating at the moment, Sharpe told FourFourTwo. When you watched the Everton game against 10 men, I know it can be difficult against 10 men but the first thing you need to do is move the ball quickly and make it difficult for Everton to stay in position. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. They didn't do that."
"It was a disappointing performance but then to go to Palace, which is a really tough place to go, and put on that sort of performance and get a victory was amazing. If that Man United turns up week after week, I don't think there's any doubt they have a chance of qualifying for the top four, but when you see the performance against Everton, that's when the doubt creeps in."
Manchester United moved into seventh place after beating Crystal Palace, three points outside the top four. The Premier League will have at least four Champions League places next season, possibly five depending on English clubs' European results. Ruben Amorim's side reached the Europa League final last term but finished 15th in the Premier League during a disappointing domestic campaign. United have shown signs of improvement this term, but inconsistency since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement persists. United lost at home to 10-man Everton before the Palace win. Former winger Lee Sharpe says United can qualify for the Champions League if they solve inconsistency and perform week after week. Manchester United host West Ham needing all three points.
