Erik ten Hag says Manchester United earning a Champions League place this season will be crucial for his rebuild project and hinted that more players have shown interest in the club with the Reds on track for a top-four spot.
The boss also pointed to the fact that match scheduling will aid next year’s missions with fans hopeful of a title challenge. Premier League teams in the Europa League and Conference League typically struggle with the Thursday-Sunday schedule.
United have played just five matches on a Saturday all season. As well as calendar issues, the failure to qualify for this season's Champions League gave the club's finances a big hit.
