Manchester United won only one Champions League trophy almost two decades ago but then they did not win any Champions League trophy in the long 24 years. Manchester United are no longer considered favorites for the Champions League trophy. The only means of achieving European excellence is the Champions League trophy. They haven't won a Champions League trophy in a long time but they have no problem with that, they are only lying with the Premier League trophy and other minor tournament titles. After the change of ownership, Man U fans started to dream about this team again. If the plan goes according to plan and some changes are made in important places, maybe two eras will end their wait.
It would surely be an achievement if Manchester United could win the Champions league trophy. It's still a bit early to know if Manchester United could compete and actually have a chance at the trophy. I wouldn't hold my breath for long though as It's safe to say they're no longer considered favorites for the trophy.
But there's still hope for the club with Ten Hag at the helm. He has lifted the hopes of fans all over and I hope he could deliver.
The Champions league trophy might in my opinion still be out of their reach at the moment, they're still great contenders for the premier league.
