Europa winners should not get Champions League - Wenger

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says it is "not right" that the Europa League winners qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester United and Tottenham are both vying for a position in the Europa League final in Bilbao on 21 May.

Both teams are guaranteed to finish outside of the European qualification places in the Premier League with United currently in 15th and Spurs in 16th.

Uefa amended its rules in 2014 to allow Europa League winners to qualify for the following season's Champions League tournament but Wenger disagrees with the policy.

Asked if it was "right" for the winners to qualify for the Champions League, Wenger told BeIN Sports, external: "No - they should qualify automatically for the Europa League again but not necessarily for the Champions League.
