Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson agrees with Jose Mourinho ’s stance on the Europa League, with the Red Devils looking likely to be in the competition next term.
United have been involved in a battle for the top four all season long but appear set to fail in their task under interim boss Ralf Rangnick. They currently sit sixth in the Premier League standings and five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with two games left to play.
Victory over Brentford at Old Trafford did at least keep them mathematically in the running for a place back at Europe’s top table but it is looking highly unlikely that Rangnick’s men will be able to overturn the deficit over the closing weeks of the season. It means that United will likely be playing Europa League football next term having reached the final of the same competition last season.
