THEY'VE DONE IT!

Manchester United qualified for the UEFA Champions League after beating Liverpool at Old Trafford 3-2!

Liverpool put on a tough performance and came back to level the score at 2-2! But ultimately United proved why they deserve to be back in the Champions League next season. From a rocky start to the season and the sacking of Ruben Amroim to Michael Carrick stepping into Old Trafford and turning the clubs mentality, spirit and just about everything that had gone wrong in previous seasons.

Goals from Manchester United: Cunha, Sesko, Mainoo
Goals from Liverpool: Szoboszlai and Gakpo

The scenes around Manchester tonight will be electric. Manchester truly is red! It would be lovely to see Manchester United back in the UEFA Champions League for the 2026/27 season.

Now the question is surely to be asked.... Will Michael Carrick land the permanent manager position at Old Trafford?
