Manchester United transfer news live Erik ten Hag future updates as £147m transfer boost emerges

Manchester United's hopes of Champions League qualification have realistically been over for some time, but Saturday's draw with Burnley now means they cannot mathematically finish in the top four.

Erik ten Hag's side looked to have secured the win late on at Old Trafford, only for Andre Onana to concede a penalty that Zeki Amdouni converted to ensure the points were shared.

The result leaves United in sixth position, just one point ahead of Newcastle. Only once in Premier League history have United finished lower than sixth - finishing seventh in the 2013/14 season following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement - but there's a very real possibility they could match that feat if their form doesn't improve.

Ten Hag is fighting to save his job, and it may be that even a strong finish to the season and an FA Cup triumph are not enough to prolong his Old Trafford career.

If United can book their place in next season's Europa League, they will receive a nine-figure payment for their efforts.
