Champions League was nice.... While it lasted.

Not to be too salty as a Man Utd fan.... But!

But this kind of sucks. Well, actually it could not have been worse. Here are the reasons why:

Number 1
Obviously, it sucks to leave a tournament as the only english team. It will suck to see when Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea keep playing for the Champions League trophy.

Number 2
If it would mean that Manchester United were out of the continental competitions all together. It would mean a big advantage in the title race. 
Now however, we have to play in the damn Europa League which means a lot of matches. On thursdays? I believe it still is played on thursdays, which means that players will be tired during the weekends. Not cool!

Number 3
It means the loss of TV money from Champions League. And even though they are among the richest clubs in the world, the loss of income is never a good thing.


Well to try to turn this into something positive. Like you always should be doing. Let's just be honest and say that Manchester United probably would not have won the Champions League. 
In Europa League we might win a title. The english clubs are not usually focusing on this tournament though. Why would Manchester United do any different?

The risk of losing focus in Premier League and miss the Champions League spots (top 4) would be a very bad thing for a club with Man Utds position in the world of soccer.
