(VTC News) - Man Utd's victory at Wembley on the night of May 25 upset Man City, and at the same time changed the season situation of Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle.
Manchester United have just defeated Manchester City to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2016. Speaking after the defeat, manager Pep Guardiola said he was sad to miss out on the final title of the 2023/24 season.
It's not just Pep and Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle will all be affected if Man Utd win the title. By winning the FA Cup, the "Red Devils" will have a ticket to the Europa League next season.
MU won the FA Cup 2023/24.
According to Premier League regulations, the 5th-placed team and the FA Cup winner will participate in the C2 Cup. Accordingly, MU and Tottenham will be the 2 English representatives participating in the second most prestigious cup tournament on the old continent next season. Meanwhile, Chelsea ranked 6th and will have to play in the Conference League 2024/25.
If MU lost to Man City, the C2 Cup spot would go to the 6th-placed Chelsea, while Newcastle, 7th, would be in C3. However, this scenario did not happen. The victory of Erik ten Hag's team meant that Newcastle would lose their ticket to the European Cup next season.
Even as FA Cup champions, Man Utd also won a ticket to the English Super Cup match at the beginning of the 2023/24 season.
Man Utd ended the 2023/24 season with the oldest trophy in England. This is also the second title in 2 consecutive years for Erik ten Hag with the Old Trafford team.
Speaking after the match, the Dutch coach did not hesitate to talk about the future: "If people do not need me. I will leave, go somewhere else and continue to win titles. That is what I have done, am doing and will do throughout my coaching career."
After finishing the Premier League with the worst performance in history, Erik ten Hag was at risk of being fired. The British press even unanimously affirmed that this coach would lose his job, even if he defeated Man City. However, when witnessing the happy face of Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Wembley, Ten Hag is likely to be given another chance.
