Manchester United will be away to Crystal Palace in the upcoming Premier League finale on Sunday evening (22nd). However, it's not going to be an easy weekend for the Red Devils. Their top scorer C Long suffered a muscle injury and is unable to play, coupled with the team's recent poor form, a loss in this match would see United drop to seventh place in the table, thus missing out on the next edition of the Europa League.
Cron has contributed 18 goals in the EPL this season and is undoubtedly United's most threatening offense. The team's last 10 Premier League matches have yielded only 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, and both of these victories could not have been achieved without Cron's hat-tricks. He helped his team win against Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest with a 3-2 scoreline respectively, while Cron also scored a goal in United's match against Brentford. However, without Cron, it will be more difficult for United to win away at Crystal Palace.
If Manchester United lose this game and West Ham United win away at Bradenton, West Ham United will overtake Manchester United to move up to sixth place and thus qualify for the next edition of the UEFA Cup. Once United dropped to seventh place, they would have to play in the UEFA Europa League next season. New manager Tannhäuser has made it clear that he does not want to see United in the UEFA Europa League and if this misfortune becomes a reality, it will undoubtedly have an impact on his plans for the new season.
