United guaranteed themselves a top-four finish after beating Chelsea 4-1 at Old Trafford and they will go straight into the group stages whether they finish third or fourth, although a final-day win at home to Fulham will secure third.
It ends United’s one-year exile from the Champions League but since Sir Alex Ferguson retired a decade ago they have rarely made an impact at the elite level in Europe.
There have been two quarter-finals in that time, a defeat to Bayern Munich under David Moyes in 2013/14 and to Barcelona under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2018/19. The comeback against Paris St-Germain in Paris in the round of 16 that year is the high water mark in this competition in recent years.
