It's just that United aren't ready for that. When it comes to Erik ten Hag's future, taking a year off before facing Europe's strongest opponent would be a good idea.
Chelsea's 1-0 win against West Ham on Saturday was the final nail in our top-four coffin, although United remain sixth in the Premier League table.
Arsenal and Tottenham are currently six and four points clear of Manchester United in the Premier League table, respectively, and both teams have games in hand.
The Europa Conference League, on the other hand, should be avoided at all costs unless Ten Hag wishes to test the academy in Europe next season. I'm not against to the Europa League.
To say this season has gone as poorly as it has is an understatement. Disappointing, to say the least.
