Manchester United’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League took a major hit as Borussia Dortmund, led by Jadon Sancho, defeated Paris Saint-Germain. The upcoming Champions League season will see an expansion to 36 clubs, with two additional spots allocated based on league performance.

This means that the Bundesliga will secure one of these spots, reducing the number of qualifying spots for the Premier League to four. Dortmund’s coach, Edin Terzic, expressed mixed feelings about this outcome, acknowledging their success while preferring a qualification through the Bundesliga.

Sancho’s standout performance in the match garnered praise, as he continues his resurgence at Dortmund after a falling out with Manchester United’s coach, Erik ten Hag. Sancho’s future with Dortmund remains uncertain, as he focused on the present when asked about his plans for next season.

Ten Hag’s position at Manchester United is in question, with the disappointment of missing out on Champions League football being a significant setback for the club. The new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has not publicly supported Ten Hag since assuming football operations.

Ratcliffe refrained from commenting on Ten Hag’s status, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the coach’s future.
