That is the prize awaiting them against Chelsea at Old Trafford.
When the United players saluted the away support at the Vitality Stadium following their 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday it was with one and three-quarter feet in the Champions League, but late drama at Anfield made them wait a little longer.
This still felt like a significant hurdle cleared when it came to securing that top-four slot. One home draw this week will seal the deal for Erik ten Hag's side.
It wasn't a vintage display on the south coast, but it was job done thanks to Casemiro's goal. United started and ended their away campaign in the Premier League in their lime green third kit, but the colour of the shirt was the only thing this had in common with the collapse at Brentford in midAugust.
Ten Hag's side have come a long way and they will surely now make sure of the final point needed. It would have made life easier had. Liverpool not fought back late, but the competitive tension this week might help them.
The away support at Bournemouth certainly made it clear that there is one more massive game in this season for this team. And we're not talking about mid-table Chelsea.
