Manchester United's European pedigree should see them in pot two for next season's Champions League draw, should the Reds secure qualification.
The Premier League win over Aston Villa moved Erik ten Hag's side one step closer to a return to the elite European competition. United have been in the Champions League just twice in the past five seasons but have a seven-point cushion inside the top four heading into the final weeks of the campaign.
And while United have been absent from Europe's top table more than they would like in recent years, performances in the Europa League have maintained their club co-efficient - the system used to determine Champions League seedings.
