Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel hopes that Manchester United's elimination from the Champions League will spur the players on to qualify for next year's edition of the competition.
United crashed out of Europe on Tuesday as they were defeated 1-0 by Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford through Renan Lodi's first-half header. The goal put the reigning Spanish champions 2-1 up on aggregate to which United had no response and they only grew frustrated as Atleti masterfully held on for the win.
The defeat means United will go five years without lifting a trophy and the only room for even the smallest bit of success for Ralf Rangnick is finishing in the top four. That's no easy task, however, as they sit behind Arsenal in the race who are in a great run of form and have three games in hand on United.
