Even if Manchester United finishes in sixth place, they might still be able to qualify for the Champions League the following year. TalkSPORT has stated that a change to UEFA rules has given rise to this possibility.
If West Ham wins the Europa League and places fifth, Manchester United would qualify for the Champions League by placing sixth.
At the moment, the Red Devils are currently 11 points behind Aston Villa in fifth position and Tottenham in fourth place. With just seven games left, their prospects of finishing in the top four seem to be dwindling after going winless in their past three league games.
Still, there’s a chance Erik ten Hag’s club can pull off an incredible Champions League qualifying. England is expected to move up one spot.
