MANCHESTER UNITED THE ARCHITECTS OF THEIR OWN DEMISE

-





Two more signings this past 2020 January transfer would have made a massive difference to Manchester United continuous quest for a place in this season's top four spots in the Premier League table. The situation which the club is currently facing appears to be a bit disappointing and yet as far as the race for next seasons UEFA Champions League competition is concerned.  



The Red Devils currently find themselves standing on the outside looking in when talks of qualifying for next seasons UEFA Champions League competition is brought up. With a total number of 12 games to go and the Red Devils currently a few feet behind current 4th place side Chelsea, Manchester United goal of securing a birth in next seasons champions league competition might be fading but there is still a slim hope left for Manchester United to qualify for next seasons Champions League competition . 










Most sports lovers who pay close attention to the English Premier League more than likely had a front-row seat while watching Manchester United fall drastically behind in the race for the Premier League table top 4. However, looking at the level of quality Manchester United had assembled at the start of the season and comparing that Manchester United team to the current top 4 teams sitting on top of the Premier League table the question must be asked, was the writing on the wall for Manchester United possibly before the start of the 2019/20 season even? 





With clubs Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester City, and Chelsea all currently sitting at the top 4 spots of this seasons Premier League table all noted with making a few extra signings during the 2019 summer transfer window and subsequently making a few more signings during the 2020 January transfer window, the Red Devils surely must not be completely surprised to find themselves currently out of any serious discussions of clubs whom will secure UEFA Champions League football next season. Having brought talks of next seasons UEFA Champions League competition into today's article, ManchesterUnitedPost will take this opportunity to touch a little bit on the recent opportunity presented to Manchester United by UEFA that surely helps Manchester United secure champions league football. 











According to United European Football Association (UEFA), Manchester City was suspected of going against the financial fair play rule concerning the salary cap any club in Europe is expected to spend on signing players and the maximum salary cap each club is meant to have in the squad. What the salary cap rule has ensured in Europe is that every club is allowed to have a balance between expensive players and highly expensive players in their squad.  





This system is enforced through the tax system which ensures that tax rates are applied to each club in Europe but each tax rate must match the level of money spent by each club annually. That way each club in Europe is allowed an equal opportunity to sign top-class players as long as each club can afford to pay for each player's salary while simultaneously paying for the domestic tax enforced on each domestic league. With the idea that the tax system has been operational for quite a while, questions continue to be asked as to why inquiries into Manchester City’s financial activities over the past two years had not been conducted before 2020.  
  






  
Nevertheless,with Manchester City expected to ban from participating in next seasons UEFA Champions League, what this means is should Manchester United secure 5th place at the end of this seasons Premier League table, Manchester United can possibly qualify automatically for next seasons UEFA Champions League competition. Good news or bad news? According to some Manchester United supporters and some Manchester United affiliates, the news carries a mixture of both good feelings and bad feelings.    









On the one hand, Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer and the entire Manchester United roster will feel a little more relieved knowing that the path to qualifying for next seasons UEFA Champions League competition has suddenly become a little shorter and this might provide the current Manchester United squad with at least some bit of positive news to present to the Manchester  United supporters at the very end of the 2019/20 season. However, this idea appears to be effective only if Manchester United secure a 5th place spot in the Premier League table at the end of the ongoing 2019/20 Premier League campaign.  


As we approach the end of the season, a quick look at the current standings of the 2019/20 Premier League table spots Manchester United sitting at the 5th spot in the Premier League table but instead of the massive gap in points that stood between Manchester United and the top four Champions League spots, Manchester United now have a three-point gap to close up before the end of the season to seal Champions League football for next season.   
  








Not the best way Manchester United envisioned themselves to secure a place for next seasons UEFA Champions League competition but at this point in the season, given the difficult season Manchester United had experienced before the 2020 January transfer window, the Red Devils will more than likely accept the news with open arms. On the other hand, the bigger question appears to be will this situation suppress any further intent by Manchester United to strengthen the team this summer. And also, will the possibility of Champions League football change the choices both Manchester United and Paul Pogba make regarding the future?  




According to recent research done by the ManchesterUnitedweekly, the situation surrounding Paul Pogba’s future appears to be very messy and a little bit unprofessional with the famous agent of the French midfielder Mino Riola exchanging words and opinions with current manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer. With the current situation developed into anything but amicable, Paul Pogba remains a Manchester United player and despite the strong suggestions of the French midfielder poised to leave Manchester United during the 2020 summer window, the French midfielder remains a Manchester United player with no definitive sign of a departure from Carrington yet to be confirmed to happen any time soon for the French midfielder.    







Should Paul Pogba extend his career at Manchester United past the 2020 summer transfer window by signing a new contract, Manchester United will have certainly made up for the error of failing to strengthen the team to be in a solid position to make a run for the Premier League trophy this season.  









A midfield compiled with the presence of players such as Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Scott Mctominar e.t.c might not assure Manchester United of lifting the Premier League trophy next season but a midfield with these three players present will certainly put Manchester United as serious contenders to lift the Premier League and possibly the UEFA Champions League trophy within the next two seasons.
