Erik ten Hag has warned it is “vital” for Manchester United’s long term future to get into the Champions League next season.
United are still favourites to make the top four but Liverpool ’s five game winning run has suddenly left ten Hag looking over his shoulder. Liverpool, who face Brentford on Saturday tea time, could even reduce the gap to a single point by the time United face West Ham on Sunday night.
Ten Hag insists his players will get over the line and get the job done but he spelt out the reasons as to why it is so important that Old Trafford hosts Champions League football next season.
