After Arsenal's victory in Lisbon guaranteed the Premier League will boast at least five teams in next season's Champions League, Manchester United's mission is crystal clear.

Michael Carrick's squad will resume action against Leeds on Monday with seven matches remaining to secure a top-five spot, which could help persuade transfer targets ahead of a crucial summer window. Several players will be departing Old Trafford this summer, with Jadon Sancho and Casemiro poised to move on when their deals run out.

Harry Maguire will remain, though, having penned fresh terms. Maguire and his United colleagues will be eager to rack up points before confronting European rivals Chelsea and Liverpool in the campaign's final weeks. The Red Devils presently occupy third place, six points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool and seven clear of Liam Rosenior's Blues in sixth. Here's all the latest news from Old Trafford.
