Manchester United will once again be mixing it with the big boys next season. There'll be no more Thursday nights, no more trips to Moldova, no more away days in Cyprus.

The Reds will be front and centre in Europe's elite competition after a year away. It's where Erik ten Hag and United want to be, where supporters expect them to be, and where they hope to be competing once again at the sharp end.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, United have qualified for the Europa League as often as the Champions League and have mustered just one quarter-final in the latter since 2014.
