Erik ten Hag claims that Manchester United is vying for a fifth-place finish and a potential Champions League spot.

Entering Europe’s most prestigious competition is Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, top priority for the season.

However, following United’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City, Villa must now make a serious mistake or the Premier League will finish with five positions in the enlarged competition.

Even then, United will need Tottenham, who are in fifth place, to lose because Ange Postecoglou’s team leads by six points and still has a game remaining.

Ten Hag stated, “It can be a quick turnaround.” “We need to attempt to get closer to them in the upcoming final.

“It can be an advantage that fifth spot can also be a Champions League spot, so we have to go for it and win our games.”

The fact that United has already played Villa and Tottenham twice does not assist their situation, even if the two teams will play each other at Villa Park on Sunday.
