Manchester United could cost the Premier League an extra Champions League spot next season if their poor form continues.
For next season's revamp of the competition, the amount of teams that qualify will increase from 32 to 36.
That is in order to incorporate a new group stage, where the teams will play nine games against different teams as part of one league system.Only this season's performances will count, and teams will pick up ranking points as they progress which will count towards each nation's overall tally. The Premier League, therefore, could earn a fifth qualification spot for next season's Champions League if their teams perform well enough.As a result, if United fail to progress to the next stage of the Champions League or even the Europa League, other clubs can make up the shortfall in ranking points - but it would certainly put the English top flight on the back foot.
