'Get back into Europe'- David May highlights what Manchester United must aim to do next season

The looming Premier League season casts a long shadow over Old Trafford, with all eyes firmly fixed on the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim. Tasked with steering Manchester United away from the choppy waters of their recent past, the pressure on the Portuguese tactician is immense. Former Red Devils defender David May has succinctly articulated the immediate objective, stating that the club must 'get back into Europe' – a sentiment that resonates deeply with a fanbase accustomed to continental competition.
Last season proved to be one of the most disheartening campaigns in recent memory for the storied club. A shocking inability to consistently secure results saw the Red Devils languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table, a position virtually unthinkable for a club of United's stature. This dismal performance not only dashed any hopes of silverware but also left a gaping void where European football once proudly sat. May's insistence on a return to Europe isn't merely an aspiration; it's a non-negotiable benchmark for a club that considers the Champions League its spiritual home, with Europa League or even Conference League qualification being the bare minimum requirement after such a significant downturn.
