It was difficult for Man United and Tottenham to survive in the EPL this season. Man United ended up in 15th place , while Tottenham avoided relegation very narrowly by finishing 17, their lowest top finish in 48 years. However , both teams did well in the Europa League. very unexpected ! Tottenham won their first major trophy in 17 years by defeating Man United , & cemented a spot in next season UCL
Man United may focus on developing young talent, cause missing out on European competition means more financial constraint. Whatever , the competition at the top of the EPL is wild, so without significant improvement, staying even in the top 7 of the table will be difficult for both teams.
Tottenham have never been close to relegation like all other clubs in the Premier League since the bottom three Leicester, Ipswich, Southampton immediately took the last three places and they were always too far from the rest of the teams. As for the Tottenham trophy, it is mostly due to the new format of the competition, I think the difference in the average strength of the teams of previous years and this season is obvious. And considering the number of teams currently participating in the Champions League (for example, 6 from the Premier League haha), the quality of the Europa League will not improve.
