Erik ten Hag call, £14m blow - What failure to qualify for Champions League means for Man United
16.04.2024 - 16:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United are almost certainly set to miss out on a place in the Champions League next season.
Dropped points in the last two matches against Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth have pushed the Champions League spots out of realistic reach for Erik ten Hag's men. With six matches remaining, the Reds are 13 points behind the guaranteed qualification position of fourth and 10 points behind the potential Champions League place of fifth.
United must now concentrate on qualifying for Europe altogether but the knock-on effects of missing out on the elite European competition are only just beginning. MEN Sport takes a look at what this all means for United below.

Finishing between 4th and 7th in the Premier League sees little difference in terms of prize money. If United were to have snatched that guaranteed Champions League spot, they would have received based on last season's figures - £37.4m.
However, finishing 6th would still bag £33m and 7th receives £30.8m. But the real financial blow comes in the difference between reaching the Champions League and not.
This season, United received a cool £13.37m automatically for just reaching the group stages. This is significantly more than the £3.17m they would have received for reaching the group stages of the Europa League and £2.5m for getting to the Europa Conference League group stages.
A £14m hit does not take into account winning matches in the Champions League either. A group stage victory earns you £2.39m compared to just £550K in the Europa League and £427K in the Europa Conference League.
With the top five looking out of reach, finishing sixth should be United's aim now.
