Manchester United will play in the Champions League again next season.
The 20-time champions secured their return to the top flight in the 35th round of the Premier League with a 3-2 home win against Liverpool.
After a two-year absence, Manchester United celebrated their return to the top teams in Europe in the best possible way: with a victory against their arch-rivals and co-record champions. Home-grown Kobbie Mainoo scored the winner in the 79th minute.
Prior to that, Liverpool had come back from 2-0 down at the break through Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo. Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko had scored Manchester United's first two goals in the opening quarter of an hour.
