Liverpool chiefs may have inadvertently received a major transfer market boost for four rumored summer targets - as arch rivals Manchester United failed to win the Europa League final.

The Red Devils had an opportunity to save their season in the showpiece in Bilbao, only to fall to a 1-0 defeat against domestic rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

This wounding loss compounded the misery at Old Trafford this campaign, with the 20-time Premier League champions currently languishing in the bottom half of the table.

Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, Liverpool's old foes are on course for a worst top flight finish since relegation in 1974.

Having lost in the Europa League final, United's key actors in the board room will be ruing the failure to secure qualification for the Champions League for next term too.

With eight domestic rivals having qualified for continental competitions ahead of the new term, it remains to be seen whether United's plans for recruitment will be affected in the coming months.

Addressing the subject after defeat in Bilbao, manager Amorim confessed: "We have two plans for the market and we have to understand it is tough for a club like ours not to be in the Champions League.

This loss, the pain of losing this match."
