Welcoming an opponent who no longer has a goal to strive for, MU in theory only needs to win 1 point to ensure ending the Premier League season in the Top 4.

However, coach Erik ten Hag's team completed the task with a clear victory over Chelsea. The goals of the Old Trafford team were scored by Casemiro (6'), Martial (45+5'), Bruno Fernandes (72') and Rashford (78'); while Chelsea only had 1 late goal to reduce the score thanks to Joao Felix (89').

The 4-1 victory helped MU climb to 3rd place with 72 points after 37 matches, 2 points more than Newcastle. Thus, the "Red Devils" have officially won a ticket to play in the C1 Cup next season without having to worry about the final round of matches this weekend. As for Chelsea, for the first time since the 1995-1996 season, they finished the season in the bottom half of the rankings.

Looking at the bigger picture, MU will join Newcastle, Arsenal and Man City to become the 4 Premier League representatives participating in the group stage of the 2023-2024 C1 Cup. Meanwhile, Liverpool will compete in the C2 Cup (Europa League) with Brighton; and the ticket to the C3 Cup (Europa Conference League) will be a competition between Aston Villa, Tottenham and Brentford.

* The Guardian reported that captain Harry Maguire has lost his starting position at MU to Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane. Therefore, the English player has decided to leave MU as soon as this season ends. However, there is still no information regarding the new destination of the former Leicester star.

* Sky Sports said that Man City are looking for a potential striker to support Erling Haaland in attack. In the immediate future, the Etihad team is aiming to recruit Brighton striker Evan Ferguson. However, the "blue half" of Manchester will certainly have to spend a large sum of money if they want to have this player's signature.

* News Day FR quoted information from the French media saying that coach Jose Mourinho is ready to accept the offer to lead PSG and is waiting for a specific offer from the Paris team. If joining the Paris team, the "special one" will have his needs met to buy players and work in an ambitious environment. However, PSG has not yet sent any offer to coach Jose Mourinho because the board of directors is still considering many other names such as Julian Nagelsmann, Zinedine Zidane, Marcelo Gallardo or Thiago Motta.

The French international is still the name that the Bernabeu team is targeting for the center forward position in the future, but will wait until this striker's contract with PSG ends (June 2024) and proceed to recruit him as a free agent.
