MANCHESTER UNITED TALK : HOPES OF MAKING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL NEXT SEASON LEFT HANGING BY A THREAD
The current quarantine effect on Manchester United football club continues to grow from bad to worse for the Red Devils. Manchester United recently witnessed the current 2019/20 season come to halt during the second half of the season as a result of the Global battle against the deadly COVID-19 virus.
At the moment, Manchester United football club is staring down the barrel of having the rest of the 2019/20 season abandoned with the 2020/21 season prepared to start during the period of August 2020. Should the rest of the 2019/20 season be voided, Liverpool FC will automatically be crowned the 2020 Premier League champions leaving Manchester United out from competing on yet another UEFA Champions League competition with the next Champions League season projected to start in 2021.
Sitting at the fifth spot when the current Premier League season came to a screeching halt, Manchester United could be staring the barrel of yet another season absent from the UEFA Champions League competition. Before the current season coming to a stop, Manchester United was making an impressive run towards the top 4 of the Premier League table sitting in 5th spot of the Premier League table with just 3 points separating current fourth place dwellers Chelsea, Manchester United still held two strong opportunities of finishing the season with a ticket to next seasons UEFA Champions Leagues competition. The first being Chelsea’s upcoming schedules before the pause involved matches against difficult teams which provided Manchester United with the hope that Chelsea will drop points before the end of the season and Manchester United might leapfrog Chelsea into fourth place and secure Champions League competition.
The second route for Champions League football was with the recent UEFA charges held against Manchester City with ultimately ruled Manchester City out of participating in the next two UEFA Champions Football, Manchester United held the opportunity of finishing the season in the fifth spot of the Premier League table and still securing Champions League football. Should the season be completely voided and Manchester City’s ban remains relevant Manchester United will have not only secured Champions League competition for next seasons competition but Manchester United will also have a fresh start for a shot at the Premier League trophy at the start of next season.
The possibility of securing a spot in next seasons UEFA Champions League competition would have been highly doubtful for Manchester United football club had the FA board move forward with the board earlier ideas to void the 2019/20 season as a preventative measure to battle the spread of the Covid19 virus. However, ManchesterUnitedPost has received reports that suggest the Football Association in conjunction with the Federation of International Football Association are both working on an agreement to resume the 2019/20 Premier League season on June 1, 2020, with the expectation for the season to run within a six-week schedule expected to end on July 1, 2020.
This will allow each club one month's grace to rest and prepare for the start of the 2020/21 season scheduled to kick off at the anticipated start date of August 29, 2020. Manchester United, who have been reportedly busy maintaining close contact with each Manchester United player to make sure the players are maintaining high training standards as well as maintaining high health standards during the current lockdown will receive the news of the 2019/20 Premier League season resuming as very positive news.
Keeping close contact of Manchester United players and making sure the players are keeping healthy and maintaining a good match day fitness regime can be seen as a solid effort by the managerial staff at Manchester United football club to make sure Manchester United players are maintaining some level of high fitness even while the players are currently away from the Carrington training ground. Manchester United plan to continue playing high-quality football on the football pitch and gaining maximum points on the football pitch as well as simultaneously pursuing the club's season ambition of ending the current season as one of the top five clubs in the Premier League table.
With this ambition in mind, Manchester United football club appears resilient in their determination to maintain a high physical level for the football players despite the current barriers limiting any in-person communication that would regularly take place around Old Trafford football ground between players and managers. With Manchester United on course to losing a substantial amount of money, this upcoming spring and summer season in 2020, Manchester United is expected to use a deep run in next seasons UEFA Champions League competition as a road to recovering a sufficient part of the finances the club is expected to lose this summer so Manchester United are understood to be determined not to avoid letting the current Global health situation derail the club’s goals for the season.
Finally, according to reports received here at ManchesterUnitedPost, the Football Association in conjunction with the Federation of International Football Association have drawn up plans to resume the Premier League Season and subsequently conclude the season within six weeks expected to last from June and come to an end before the start of next season August 8, 2020. While Manchester United will receive the news as a positive one, the Red Devils will ultimately face a difficult task attempting to secure UEFA Champions League football for next season in what is sure to be a packed schedule for the rest of the season.
The fact is Champions League football is still there to be had for Ole Gunner Solskjaer and his team, Manchester United will be aware of the fact that maximum points from the moment the season returns until the end of the season in season will be crucial for Manchester United in terms of securing UEFA Champions League football next season.
