HOA NHAT ANH - It's still too early to talk about Manchester United's title chances, as they have three of the most crucial rounds ahead: the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final of the UEFA Europa League. However, with their current position at 14th place and 34 points, it's highly unlikely that the Red Devils from London can turn things around and secure a spot in the Premier League's top four. That said, winning the Europa League could be their legitimate ticket to qualifying for Europe's biggest club competition.
Manchester United previously secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League by winning the Europa League in the 2016/17 season.
They defeated Ajax 2-0 in the final held in Stockholm.
Thanks to this victory, Man Utd earned a direct qualification to the Champions League for the 2017/18 season, despite finishing only sixth in the Premier League in 2016/17.
Although UEFA is set to introduce a new format for the Champions League, expanding the competition from 32 to 36 teams, the automatic qualification spot for the Europa League winner remains unchanged.
