What does Manchester United lose by not qualifying for the Champions League?
Losing 60 million pounds would be the simplest consequence!
Manchester United cannot miss out on the Champions League again. Erik Ten Hag’s side have been in the top four of the Premier League since their 1-0 win over Wolves on December 31, 2022, but with them set to take on Julen Lopetegui’s side once again. On Saturday, they run grave risk of losing that coveted fourth place to Liverpool.
United had a seven-point lead over Liverpool less than two weeks ago after beating Aston Villa, but that advantage has been reduced to just one point since then.
If they fail to beat Wolves, Jurgen Klopp’s side will overtake them with victory at Leicester City on Monday.
Man United have a game in hand that puts them more matches left than Liverpool, but while the Merseyside side are in unstoppable form, United are in free fall.
The big factor that caused them to lose their grip on the top four was their horrible away performance, defeats to Brighton and West Ham, and losing 8 games away from home this season so far illustrates United’s problem.
In their last 10 games they’ve scored just eight goals, fewer than any other team in the league, the Red Devils look tired after playing more matches than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues and their confidence is rock bottom, a case typified by David De Gea’s case against West Ham. In addition to Marcus Rashford and Anthony’s stray shots.
