Manchester United could be hit with a £22.5million deduction if they fail to qualify for the Champions League this season.
United will compete in the Europa League this campaign after Ralf Rangnick’s side only managed to finish sixth in the Premier League in a disastrous 2021/22 season. Erik ten Hag has been hired to try and turn things around at Old Trafford, but the new era currently looks much like the old one, with consecutive defeats leaving them bottom of the table.
Ten Hag is already aware of just how damaging a lack of Champions League football can be, with many of his priority transfer targets unwilling to join a team who have not won any silverware for five years. And United’s finances could be hit if the Dutchman fails to turn things around and oversee a top-four finish this season.
