West Ham: No wins in eight
Bournemouth: No wins in 10
Wolves: No wins in 15
United played them all at home in that run and have beaten none of them #mufc
Arsene Wenger said in 2012 that a Champions League place is a trophy & in 2017 he said there should be a trophy for 4th place. Arsenal have won 4 FA Cups in 20 years & not a single European Trophy in their history.
it wasn't a discussion in 2023 when Sevilla won it (finishing 12th), in 2022 when Eintracht Frankfurt won it (11th), in 2021 when Villarreal won it (7th), or when Sevilla won it three years in a row from 2014-2016 despite finishing outside the top 4 every single year.
This narrative is extremely disingenuous. It's because Manchester United would stand to benefit so much from winning it, just be honest. That is the problem.
