Bruno Fernandes has admitted that Manchester United are happy to have stopped Liverpool from qualifying for the Champions League next season. United confirmed their place in the Premier League’s top four with a 4-1 win over Chelsea last night. The result means that Liverpool are now guaranteed to finish fifth, whatever happens on the last day. Europa League here we come.
Obviously, we are happy for Liverpool not to be there,” said the Portugal international.
They’ve fallen short of that in recent seasons while Liverpool have flourished, winning the Champions League and getting to a further two finals.
Hopefully this feeling – and the barbs of rivals like Bruno – will drive them on to be back at the top table next season.
