Manchester United Champions league hope revitalized as Manchester City draw against Swansea

Manchester United hope of qualifying to next season's UEFA champions league is renewed after Manchester city draw with Swansea

Manchester United face one of the toughest tests since their existence as they fight for a Champions League spot with only one match to go. Currently sitting at the sixth place, two places below their rivals Man City, the Red Devils need a miracle to qualify for next season’s Champions League action.

Mathematically, Louis Van Gaal’s men can still qualify for the coveted European competition but only if they beat Bournemouth by not less than 19 goals. Sounds impossible? No. In the world of football, anything is possible.

The Red Devils will face The Cherries at a yet-to-be-confirmed date following the abandonment of their planned fixture due to security concerns at Old Trafford. A suspicious package that was discovered inside Old Trafford triggered the attention of fans and officials who had turned up for the crunch tie. The match was postponed to allow bomb experts and law enforcers to comb the stadium for dangerous packages.

Back to the race for a Champions League spot, the two city rivals are separated by three points, but Manuel Pellegrini’s side has a higher goal difference of 18 goals. Hence, Louis Van Gaal’s men need to score at least 19 goals to topple the Etihad outfit from the fourth spot.

Failure to secure a Champions League spot and the FA Cup could mark the final days of LVG’s career at Old Trafford.

Reason why Manchester United's match against Bournemouth was abandoned

Manchester United's match with Bournemouth has been abandoned after a suspicious package was found at the ground.

Supporters in the Stretford End and Sir Alex Ferguson stand were ordered to leave the ground after a 'Code Red' emergency was declared just before kick off.

The game was expected to be suspended for 45 minutes but has now been cancelled altogether.

United confirmed that a suspiscious package has been identified in the ground. 

They said: "Kick-off is delayed at Old Trafford after a suspect package was found in the North West Quadrant. Police are inspecting, more to follow."

The alarm was raied and "Operation Code Red" was declared.

A statement read: "We would like to thank Manchester United's staff, the police and other emergency services for all their efforts today as well as rearranging the match for this coming Tuesday.

"Both Manchester United and AFC Bournemouth's management has been extremely helpful in reaching a swift resolution, which is the best possible given today's events."

United will refund all tickets and allow ticket holders from both clubs to watch Tuesday's re-arranged game for free, while Manchester United season ticket holders will also be given a credit.

It is a gesture that is estimated will cost United around £3m.

Carlo Ancelloti claims Manchester city's new boss Pep Guardiola will join the 'SACK CLUB'

Carlo Ancelotti has warned Pep Guardiola that he will face the sack at some point in his career, saying it is a fate that no manager can avoid forever.

The Italian is widely regarded as one of the finest football coaches in the world having won the Champions League with both AC Milan and Real Madrid.

To add to that, he has also won the Serie A, the Premier League, the FA Cup and Ligue 1, but even he has been thrown out of the job on several occasions.

Guardiola is one of the few managers who can claim to be even more highly regarded than Ancelotti and has experienced tremendous success at both Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and, more impressively, left both on his own terms.

But as he prepares to take on his biggest challenge yet at Manchester City, Ancelotti has warned him that, at some point or another, Guardiola will join him and a host of other legendary names in the "Sack Club".

"There is no manager in their career that is not sacked. (Sir Alex) Ferguson was sacked, (Marcello) Lippi sacked, (Fabio) Capello sacked, (Jose) Mourinho sacked, (Rafa) Benitez.

“The only one not sacked is Guardiola, but he’s still really young. He has plenty of time. One day he will come into our club, the Sack Club.”
