Manchester United are only three games away from the Champions League, English media report after Thursday’s high-scoring match between Manchester United and Lyon in the Europa League.
After the victory, the news surfaced that Manchester United will afford to go after the Premier League star valued at 100 million if and only if they win the Europa League.
Manchester United beat Lyon 7-6 on aggregate to secure their place in the Europa League semi-finals, after a memorable 5-4 win at Old Trafford.
Despite the big win, fans are convinced that two players ‘cannot play together’ and are demanding that one be sold by Ruben Amorim this summer. – With Manchester United in 14th place in the Premier League, the only chance for the Champios League is to win the Europa League final in Bilbao next month.

Champions League qualification will not only improve the club’s finances, but also have a major impact on transfer activities when the market opens this summer. According to ESPN, Southampton’s Tyler Dibling is at the top of the list. – Dibling has on a team that has been unimpressed with only 10 points at the very bottom of the Premier League, scored two goals and fought intensely to lift the whole team. – While the 19-year-old right winger has gotten better and better and is now highly sought after, his childhood club is relegated to the Championship.
Dibling is one of the most in-demand young players for his performances in the Premier League. He has scored two goals in 28 league appearances, and has impressed fans and critics alike despite Southampton’s difficult season.
But Southampton are demanding a whopping £100 million for him, with Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig also interested.
Man United are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window, which will be Amorim’s first pre-season after his appointment in November.
The club also wants to strengthen the midfield, regardless of Champions League qualification. However, according to the report, ‘essential goals’ in midfield and attack will be prioritised over Dibling if Man United fail to qualify for the Champions League.

After the win over Lyon, Amorim said that the focus of the season will now be on the Europa League.
“We really have to focus on the Europa League and take a chance with the young players in the league. Fans have to understand that we have to prioritize the Europa League,” he said.
When asked about his belief that Man United can win the Europa League, he replied: “Yes, you can see it in the stadium. We need luck with injuries. It’s going to be tough.”
“It’s a special moment. We know we are underperforming and deserve all the criticism. But we still have time to make something special out of this season.”
