Manchester United's hopes of securing European qualification were dealt what could prove to be a significant blow as Chelsea defeated Tottenham. However, Borussia Dortmund's win over PSG earlier this week confirmed only four English sides will qualify for the revamped competition this season. As such, United now turn their attention to attempting to secure a place in either the Europa League or the Europa Conference League... though even that is far from guaranteed. Erik ten Hag's side take on their noisy neighbours at Wembley later this month, and if Man City repeat last season's result to triumph, sixth will be a Europa League place with seventh granting qualification to the Europa Conference League. United could therefore miss out on European football entirely next season if they are overtaken by both Newcastle and Chelsea before the end of the season.
