Manchester United's surprise 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final has earned the Red Devils a place in the UEFA Europa League next season, and impacted both Chelsea and Newcastle United.

With Man Utd joining Tottenham Hotspur, who qualified by finishing fifth in the Premier League, in the Europa League, Chelsea will now play in the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2024/25.

The Blues qualify by virtue of their sixth-place finish in the Premier League, but seventh-placed Newcastle will now miss out on European football next season due to United's cup success.
