Manchester United will compete in the UEFA Champions League in 2021-22.
The Red Devils' brilliant revival win today, along with West Ham's 1-0 home defeat to Everton, ensures that no matter what happens the remainder of the season, United will end in the top four – it is now mathematically assured.
DON"T MISS:
And if Chelsea finished below the top four but won the Champions League, United's participation will remain unaffected since they would be expected to finish in the top three (that is, only Chelsea and Leicester can get ahead of them).
It's good news for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his team, as it relieves them of the burden of needing to play two more games in four days against Leicester and Liverpool.
DON"T MISS:
The news suggests that United would make drastic adjustments for Tuesday's home game against Leicester, knowing that points are not needed.
Leicester and Liverpool, United's next two rivals, would both be vying for a spot in the Champions League, but United will be willing to tackle them believing that their own place is safe.
To accomplish the feat with four games to spare is a wonderful accomplishment for the Red Devils, whose inclusion in this year's tournament was decided by a nail-biting last-match showdown with Leicester.
