(Source: Reuters)There is only one way left for Manchester United to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next year – by winning Europa League final against Ajax on May 25. The Red Devils will play against Southampton and Crystal Palace before hoping to win the Europa League which remains their only hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Mourinho’s side escaped the semifinal of Europa League by one goal in the first leg against Celta Vigo, placed thirteenth in the Spanish League. The Portuguese manager however only ended up limiting his options by advertising an attitude that if not Premier League, then Europa League will get them the Champions League deal. He chose an easy way out by preferring to fight weaker teams from other leagues than going confidently into the Premier League matches.
