Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has said that it is ‘vital’ the club qualify for the Champions League next season.
Manchester are in fourth place in the Premier League table but are being chased down by Liverpool and Brighton who also have a chance of making it into the top four.
The Red Devils travel to West Ham on Sunday for a meeting with David Moyes’ side and Ten Hag, who addressed the press on Friday, said that United should be a constant presence at Europe’s elite tournament.
“Manchester United, of course, we need to be there in the Champions League,” he said.
He noted that a club like Manchester United should be challenging the best teams in Europe.
United played in the Europa League this season and crashed out to Sevilla in the quarter finals.
“I think it is always vital that we have to be in the Champions League” he added.
“It’s a battle because in the Premier League many clubs are competing for it and they have the power to fight for that as well. We want to be there. We do everything to get there.”
