'I think this club belongs in the Champions League!' Erik ten Hag lauds his Man United players for achieving the 'main objective' of their season… as he claims finishing in the top four is the same as winning a TROPHY

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said that his side had achived their 'main objective' this season with Champions League qualification after the Red Devils thrashed Chelsea 4-1 at Old Trafford on Thursday evening.

United sealed the top four slot in their penultimate tie of the season after Casemiro opened proceedings from in freekick in just the sixth minute.

Goals from Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes from the spot, and Marcus Rashford followed, and whilst Joao Felix clawed one back for Chelsea with a composed and classy strike that outwitted David De Gea, the Blues failed to lay a glove on the home side.
