FA Cup winners guaranteed Europa League spot, but Premier League qualification may not be enough
Europa Conference League winners also get Europa League place
Manchester City or Manchester United set to qualify for Europa League
The winners of the FA Cup are guaranteed a place in the following season's Europa League, but that may not be enough to qualify for the Premier League.
If a Premier League club wins the FA Cup, they will automatically qualify for the Europa League group stage. However, if a non-Premier League club wins the FA Cup, they will have to go through the Europa League qualifying rounds.
The winners of the UEFA Europa Conference League are also guaranteed a place in the UEFA Europa League group stages.
Manchester City and Manchester United are the two teams left in the FA Cup semi-finals. The winner of that match will be guaranteed a place in the Europa League.
However, Manchester City have already qualified for the Champions League, so they would not need to win the FA Cup to secure European football.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in danger of missing out on European football altogether. They are currently sixth in the Premier League, and they need to finish in the top four to qualify for the Champions League.
If Manchester United win the FA Cup, they would be guaranteed a place in the Europa League. However, they would still need to finish in the top four of the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League.
