It would have pleased the Gunners if City had won the Cup. Newcastle and Chelsea, who both placed higher in the Premier League than United, are also impacted.
Manchester United had the worst season in Premier League history, but their unexpected win over bitter rivals City in this weekend’s FA Cup final has started an odd chain reaction that will directly impact teams like Chelsea and Newcastle in the upcoming campaign. Arsenal, owned by Mikel Arteta, is another team that gets left out.
What impact does Manchester United’s FA Cup victory have on Newcastle and Chelsea?
United’s lowest result since the competition’s 1992 rebranding came in eighth place in the Premier League last season.
Nevertheless, Ten Hag’s group was able to take away some positives from the competition and win silverware in the end for the second year in a row. The added benefit is that United, who were expected to miss out on all of Europe, would be able to compete in the Europa League the following season as domestic cup champions thanks to their FA Cup victory.Chelsea, who placed sixth and finished ahead of United, will now play in the Europa Conference League as a result of this. Newcastle, which placed seventh and ended ahead of United, will not be participating in European competitions the following season as a result. Not only them lose out on things. Pep Guardiola’s City would have finished as Premier League runners-up in August’s FA Community Shield if they had won at Wembley and accomplished the double.
Since they didn’t, another Manchester derby between league winners City and Cup winners United will kick off the 2024–2025 season. Arsenal blows another chance to take home a trophy.
Wembley will host the FA Community Shield on Saturday, August 10, 2024. It will present United with a fresh chance to defeat City. Arsenal, on the other hand, will be concentrating on the 2024–25 Premier League, which begins the next weekend (16–19 August). When the fixtures are revealed on June 18, they will know who they will play on opening day.
What is next for Ten Hag and Arsenal? In the past two years, Mikel Arteta’s initiative has been really close to winning the Premier League. and next season, they will undoubtedly remain close. To win the title and be declared champions for the first time since 2003–2004 is still the goal. In the Champions League, the Gunners will also be trying to advance as far as they can. Their finest showing came when they made it to the championship game in 2005 but lost to Barcelona.
As Arteta works to assemble the greatest team possible, it will be fascinating to see how Arsenal does throughout the transfer window and which reinforcements arrive in North London and which ones go.The way that Arsenal dominated the “Big Six” was impressive, and in order to win the league in 2024–2025, they will need to perform even better.
Regarding Ten Hag, his status at Old Trafford for the upcoming season is still unknown. The Dutch coach’s contract has one more year left on it, and there is an option to extend it to June 2026. However, there are rumors that United is considering a managerial move, and Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino are two possible contenders to start on the bench.
