What Manchester United's Champions League exit means for Arsenal and the top-four race

Manchester United are out of the Champions League following a 2-1 aggregate defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid - a result that hands Arsenal a major top-four boost in the process.

Renan Lodi's goal shortly before half-time proved to be the difference between the two clubs on the night at Old Trafford and over two legs as the La Liga outfit join Liverpool, Manchester City and rivals Real Madrid in the quarter-final stage.

What this result means is that the Red Devils' focus will shift towards ensuring they qualify for the competition next season and they have nine Premier League games remaining to overtake Arsenal.
