Manchester United are, in theory, set for an easier Champions League group than Arsenal and Newcastle due to their superior Uefa coefficient ranking.
United need just one point from their final two games to secure a top-four finish, with Chelsea coming to Old Trafford on Thursday before Fulham's visit on the final day of the season. Erik ten Hag's side have been on course for Champions League qualification for the majority of a brilliant debut season under the Dutchman, holding off a resurgent Liverpool in recent weeks.
While their spot in next season's competition is not yet 100 per cent confirmed, those involved at United will already be looking towards August 31 and the draw for next season's group phase, with a return to Europe's elite competition the major objective of Ten Hag's first year in charge.
