Former Manchester United captain provides massive update (Source- Twitter)
Manchester United have travelled to Selhurst Park Stadium to face Crystal Palace on Match 35, in the English Premier League. The Red Devils have struggled to get in good form in the ongoing season as they sit 8th in the PL table with their UEFA Champions League hopes have ended, however their is a slight chance for the club to qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season, they are in the final of the FA Cup and will face Manchester City and the winner of the same qualifies for the Europa League.
England was unable to acquire an extra slot in the Champions League,for the upcoming season after Germany and Italy clubs have better coefficient than the English clubs so finishing eighth will not be sufficient to qualify for Europe. Seventh will be a Europa League spot, but only if United does not win the FA Cup and finishes outside the top six.
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville believes that the Red Devils needs to buckle up as their chances for the 6th spot will be difficult with two teams Chelsea, Newcastle United is in the competition for the spot. With the Magpies currently favourites to take the last Europa League spot. Newcastle and Manchester United also face each other next week will be an important clash for both sides.
Their league form this season has been so inconsistent: Gary Neville
Neville believes that United need to look beyond the league table he said on a podcast with Sky Sports, "Chelsea have just improved over the last few weeks. Just picking my phone up there at halftime, looking at the notifications and it saying that Harry Maguire has gotten injured in training."
"That's the one position they [Manchester United] couldn't afford an injury. He's the one defender fit, or centre-back fit. That would be a real problem for United. United's season largely depends on the FA Cup, just generally. Their league form this season has been so inconsistent."
Erik ten Hag has been immense pressure after the dismal show of the team and the management have been looking for a possible replacement for the manager, however he has asked more time from Sir Jim Ratcliffe who heads the football operations for the club the hierarchy has also decided to pay cut 25% of salary of the manager if the side fails to qualify for the UCL in the next season.
