From the 2024/25 season, Premier League clubs who finish outside of the top four could still be able to qualify for the Champions League, under new proposals.
Manchester United are currently outside challengers for a top four finish this season. And while Manchester City are flying right now, who knows what the future holds in the next few years. Europe’s elite competition is poised for a big shake-up under revamped plans that will see the number of teams increased from 32 and 36, all competing in one league table. Each club would play 10 matches, an increase of the six group games already in place, with the top 16 clubs progressing through to the knock-out phases.
MEN Sport runs through the new plans and how they could impact United, City and the rest of the clubs involved.
