United's slim Champions League options

The current situation at United isn't great - the team has dropped to sixth in the table on 61 points - behind Arsenal and Spurs in the race to land the fourth Champions League place and with upcoming games against City and Chelsea on the horizon. With that in mind, it is starting look like Skolsjaer's team could well find themselves playing in the Europa League next season and Pogba has already stated that he has different objectives. According to Le Parisien, the midfielder's relationship with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is slowly fading and with the prospect of a non-too appetizing project, things don't look like they'll get any better.
