1) Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Van Gaal was appointed United manager last summer, and United currently sit five points clear of Liverpool in fifth place.

The question is: who is in fifth place? United (Manchester United) or Liverpool?
I think the sentence is telling us that Manchester is in fifth place.
The fact of the matter is that Liverpool is in fifth place.
Would a comma before 'in fifth place' change anything?
