Manchester United will play Liverpool in their third game of the new Premier League season.
Why Liverpool winning the Champions League could actually be good news for Manchester United
28.05.2022 - 11:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Every Manchester United fan will be praying Real Madrid beat Liverpool in Saturday’s Champions League final.
The Old Trafford faithful have endured a stomach-churning season, watching their rivals lift two trophies and narrowly miss out on the league title, while United failed to even secure a top-four finish. A loss for Jurgen Klopp's side this weekend would at least help United fans wave goodbye to a wretched season with a wry smile on their faces.
But if the German tactician does get his hands on the Champions League crown then history tells United fans that the following season may be a positive one.

Erik ten Hag has already started the shake-up behind the scenes at Old Trafford, with four of Ralf Rangnick's coaching staff set to be offloaded. He also made a positive first impression in his debut press conference on Monday.
Ten Hag revealed that United were his favourite English team when he was a child, so he will be well aware of the magnificent history of the club and may be encouraged by the trend United seem to have set whenever Liverpool win the Champions League (formerly the European Cup).
The last four times the trophy has gone back to Anfield, United have secured a top-four finish the following season. In 2020 they finished third, while in 2006 they finished second.
This trend seemed to begin in the 80s when the club earned fourth and third-place finishes in 1985 and 1982, respectively. Furthermore, on two of those occasions, they won a cup competition.
In 1985 they lifted the FA Cup, while in 2006 they were successful in the League Cup. Even in 2020, United made the semi-finals of the Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
