It has been a poor season for Manchester United, sixth in the Premier League but with an abysmal record of 9-7. In the UEFA Champions League, the Red Devils did not fare any better, going 1-4-1 in the Group stage, one of their worst productions in the UCL ever.
By finishing last in their group ManU were completely eliminated from European club competition, not even qualifying for the Europa League. The economic loss of being out of international competition will be huge for the club.
According to the Daily Mail, the club may be forced to sell players in January as a way to balance their books heading into what’s left of their season.
