Barcelona vs Manchester United match has now become the main object of Europa League discussion. But I still have little fear for clubs like PSV, Roma, bayern leverkusen, midtjylland and Monaco. This clubs are doing well in their league but their chances of winning their league is much quite narrow compared to their chances of winning the Europa League, for that they might show much more curiosity in winning Europa league matches than clubs like Barcelona and Arsenal. Therefore one should not underrate them in Europa league matches.

Yes, in fact it is the game they are most looking forward to, the Europa League now has a lot of emotions, the teams that are here want to be first, show that they are the best and that they need to be in the UCL quickly, I think both Juve and the Rome and Barcelona will be the teams that will provide the most emotions for the players. As for the Barcelona game, I think they can win, I don't like to be very optimistic about Barcelona, but I see it as much better than Manchester, in my personal opinion as long as Ten Hag remains in charge of Manchester it will lead them to the abyss that will not they will be able to get out so easily, they already have their other victim, so this is like one of the unsuccessful cycles that do not end.

Ten Hag knew very well that in his first season he would not be able to win a trophy unless United were really lucky.

He and Manchester United are climbing up to a third position in Premier League but I agree that thinking of the trophy is too optimistic. A third or second position at the end can be great for them. Again we should remember that Ole Solskajer had a season with a runner-up position with Manchester United but after all he was sacked by them.

This should be an ongoing process without expecting any achievements in a season that has been filled with inconsistent team performances. I'm not going to forbid them from setting a target of becoming champions, but it takes time for a team that has just recently resurrected like Manchester United. I think it will be very hasty in its first season already targeting a trophy which at the beginning received the team in not good condition.

I think that the target must be to enter into the top 4 until the season. You can dream if MU will be winning the current season but the problem is when you are aware about the fact that if arsenal has a very big gap to the MU. that was not possible for MU to be able to surpass arsenal if it keeps doing more and more win streak. I think that we shall try to used our logic.
We can even know if MU will not be possible to go to the champion for this season. We must be realistic with the gap between MU and arsenal.
What you were saying just like you can't accept the truth if arsenal has the biggest chance to win this season and not MU

Well before I used to think Man United was a team that could make a difference but because of everything they've been through they can get promoted instead and yes it's very nice but the hard part is staying there like they say Arsenal It is a team that is very hungry for everything, I think that this time they will not be discouraged by anyone, and they will do whatever it takes to be in that precious position, and I like that, because they are thinking big, they are not falling behind as They have done it for some time, for me Arsenal will have a better emergence than Man United itself, I don't have the slightest bit of confidence that things will work out for them with Ten Hag in charge of Man United.

And well, Arsenal starred in a controversial match against Newcastle:

Arsenal fan puts together ridiculous thread on why referee 'favoured' Newcastle United

Quote

One Arsenal fan has come up with the most ridiculous theory ever as to why referee Andrew Madley 'favoured' Newcastle United in Tuesday's 0-0 draw.

It was a frustrating night all round for both teams, as they looked to cement their surprisingly good positions in the Premier League.

Neither side could create the chance that would have earned them all three points to strengthen their bid for the league title, in Arsenal's instance, or to finish in the top four, for Newcastle.

It was the Gunners who were left more annoyed, especially their manager Mikel Arteta, as they desperately appealed for two potential penalties.
