Manchester United are preparing for their final Premier League game of the season against Brighton on Sunday as they aim to secure European qualification.
Manchester United will guarantee themselves a place in Europe if they can better Newcastle’s result on Sunday.
Erik ten Hag’s side currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, level on points with Newcastle after Wednesday’s 3-2 victory. Realistically United can no longer qualify for the Europa League via their final league standing, though Europa Conference League football will be secured if they can better the Magpies’ result on Sunday.
Europa League football returning to Old Trafford is still a possibility, with a victory over Manchester City in next week’s FA Cup final enough to book a spot in Europe’s secondary club competition. However, Ten Hag will not want to head to Wembley knowing his side’s hopes of playing in Europe next term rest solely on the outcome of the showpiece event.
Away from the pitch, Ten Hag’s future continues to dominate the news cycle. Thomas Tuchel has been linked with a move to United and he has confirmed his Bayern Munich future today.
