5 teams in danger of missing out on Champions League next season

#1 Manchester United

The Red Devils have slumped again after a barnstorming start under Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's honeymoon period seems to have met with a conclusion: five defeats in the last seven games in all competitions have tarnished the whirlwind start he made to life as Manchester United’s caretaker manager, and now they’re back at sixth - the same position they were mired in at the time Jose Mourinho was sacked.

Fatigue seems to have crept in after a series of impressive results because nothing else can truly justify the toothless showings in recent weeks.

Marcus Rashford’s shooting boots are now running out of steam as he’s drawn a blank in the last four games, whilst Romelu Lukaku hasn’t got a whiff of the onion bag since striking twice in the historic win over PSG last month.

The Red Devils have had an unforgiving last few weeks, to be fair to them. But the daunting run notwithstanding, they are now left with a trip to Everton before hosting Manchester City and Chelsea successively as Solskjaer braces for yet more arduous fixtures before seeing off the season.

And anything other than wins would prove to be detrimental to United’s Champions League hopes.
