"After finishing 15th in the Premier League last year, expectations were low for Manchester United heading into this campaign. But 27 games into the season, they find themselves sitting in fourth place. Now that they're back in the top four with 11 games to play, a return to Europe's top competition has become an expectation."
"And Champions League football for 2026/27 would go a long way towards securing him the full-time role. But missing out could bring significant changes at Old Trafford. Champions League absence would cost Man Utd £10m"
Manchester United have dramatically improved this season under Michael Carrick, rising from 15th place last year to fourth in the Premier League with 11 matches remaining. This resurgence has elevated Champions League qualification from a distant hope to a realistic expectation. Securing European football for 2026/27 would substantially strengthen Carrick's case for the permanent managerial position. Conversely, failing to achieve Champions League qualification would trigger major consequences at Old Trafford, including potential financial losses of approximately £10 million and likely organizational restructuring.
