After United's unexpected defeat to fourth-ranked Arsenal, the difference between the two teams reached six points. Even if United can win their remaining four matches, the hope of returning to the top four to participate in next season's Europa League is extremely slim. Interim manager Ranilic said that if United can only get the eighth place in the end, then completely "out of the European Union" is conducive to the team's reconstruction, and his point of view is not unfounded.
Lanlik further elaborated that if United don't have to deal with European competitions next season, the benefits to the team will be manifold: not having the burden of European competitions may be an advantage, but it doesn't mean we can relax in the last four games. United and I will give it our all, and as for the final ranking, there is no point in discussing it now.
The coach, who is known for his tight pressing tactics, pointed out that Arsenal, like this season, can concentrate on the league and team rebuilding because they don't have the pressure of European tournaments. As a result, they are now pushing for the top four once again, even as Liverpool, coached by Gopp, were eighth in the early stages and didn't have to deal with European tournaments, laying a solid foundation to win the title later on.
Lanlik also said bluntly that there will be numerous players leaving the team at the end of this season, but there will also be a large number of new players joining the team: the new manager will inject new energy into the team when he comes in. A lot of players' contracts are about to expire, and there will be new players joining the team, and with the new manager, I firmly believe that Manchester United will be stronger next season.
