Manchester United’s difficult season looks to be ending in complete disappointment unless they can salvage a top-four finish in their remaining games.
With Jose Mourinho sacked and now predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under mounting pressure, the Red Devils have endured a frustrating and trophyless campaign.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man United face a fight to finish in the top four
They are currently sixth in the table having only won one of their last five top-flight outings.
Solskjaer’s side face Huddersfield and Cardiff in the last two weeks of the term and need some serious help if they are to end the year on a high by securing Europe for next year.

How Man United can qualify for Champions League
United need a top-four finish in the Premier League this season to gain qualification for the Champions League.
They will likely have to win their remaining two fixtures and then hope their rivals slip up.
With Tottenham losing to Bournemouth, United can still finish in third.
But as the English sides have impressed in Europe this term, coming in fourth may not be enough for the Red Devils.

Paul Pogba and Man United need a big finish to the season
For example, if United finish fourth behind Chelsea in third but then Tottenham win the Champions League and Arsenal win the Europa League, Solskjaer’s side would be bumped out as the European champions would take priority.
United, again only if they finish fourth, will be hoping Spurs end the season in third because then their potential Champions League triumph would not affect them.
The Premier League can have a maximum of five teams in the Champions League.
If the final two fixtures throw up some major surprises and United finish third, they would be assured of Champions League football next season.
Manchester United have been told they must get rid of Alexis Sanchez this summer - even if it costs them a fortune. Sanchez was given a rare start in attack against Huddersfield by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his first in 12 games, but he failed to take the chance to impress in the disappointing 1-1 draw, which ended the club's hopes of Champions League football.
