Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has said his team can still qualify for next season’s Champions League if they finish in fifth place.
The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
The result leaves Ten Hag’s men in sixth place with 44 points and a -2 goal difference after 27 fixtures.
Ahead of United are Liverpool (63), Manchester City (62), Arsenal (58), Aston Villa (55) and Tottenham (50).
Ten Hag is now eyeing a top-five finish in the league, with UEFA expanding the Champions League next season.
He told reporters: “Number five [fifth position in the league] can also be a position for the Champions League, so we have to fight for it.”
