Is Man Utd headed for the Europa League?

Just 10 matches to go in EPL, and 9 points behind 4th place Man City; who themselves have 2 games in hand over the others. So it is Arsenal which would be the real 4th place team, once City finish their games in hand; and United are 11 off them. The more realistic target would be 5th place, and that is also a fight with Tottenham and Everton. Dont see Man Utd making it to Champions League next year.

Since Manchester City won the League Cup, 6th place is also enough for EL now.
7th won't be most likely since either Hull City, Wigan or Sheffield United will qualify for EL via the Cup. Unless Arsenal win it and somehow drop to 5th place.

What is the Order of priority now if we have the FA Cup Runners Up
qualifying (Arsenal win cup and get Top 4)

Out of the 3 Europa League qualifiers, now League Cup will not be used
does FA Cup Runners Up go to the bottom and have 2 qualifiers to play ??

Or does 6th place have 2 qualifiers to play ??

Losing finalist always takes the last place in the qualifing order.

Losing Cup finalist always gets the lowest spot, so they have to start in ELQ3.

As it stands today (assuming Arsenal win FA Cup - they are favourites) and finish 4th ( most likely scenario but far from certain)

1, 2, 3: Chelsea, Liverpool, Man C: Champions League Group Stage
4: Arsenal: Champions League Final Qualifier (NCQ4)
5: Tottenham: Europa League Group Stage
6: Manchester United: Europa League Q4
Cup Runner Up: (Maybe Hull?): Europa League Q3

But much can change yet!

You could have
Man U 5th
Everton 6th

Spurs 7th and Win Europa League

Then you will get 4 teams in the Europa League from England
