In order to formally put an end to Liverpool's waning chances of qualifying for Europe's top club tournament, United needed a point from their last two league games. Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes (penalty), and Marcus Rashford scored for United. Erik ten Hag, the manager, told Sky Sports that it was crucial because the team belonged in the Champions League. However, the Premier League is a difficult tournament, so achieving this feat is a huge achievement.
With one game left, United, a three-time winner in Europe who missed out on the Champions League last year, is in third position with 72 points, six points ahead of Liverpool in fifth. Following a scoreless draw on Monday against Leicester City, fourth-place Newcastle United confirmed its position among Europe's elite. Chelsea, who has had a difficult season, is in 12th place with 43 points.
