Nothing is impossible, just look like in the UCL, Dortmund were very lucky to reach the final and it was all because they had opponents they could beat even though Dortmund themselves were not strong team.
Something similar could happen to Manchester Uniter if they are lucky and only get opponents they feel they can beat, but opportunities like this are not easy to get, we see how things develop next season.

Manchester United played in the UCL last season and look how badly they performed. This season they will appear in the European league and I hope they can be a little better than the previous season. I think for now United is worthy to play in UEL. At least they got through the group phase and played in the quarterfinals or even the semifinals.

Dortmund are playing very well this season and I think they deserve to play in the final. Dortmund beat several strong teams such as AC Milan, PSV, Atletico Madrid and PSG to reach the final. Maybe they are not as strong as Munich or even City but Dortmund are playing extraordinary and could give a surprise tonight.

During the last few seasons when Manchester United were in the UCL competition, they always performed less than optimally and the last time they took part in the 2023/24 UCL season, they were only in the bottom position in group A in the group phase.
Next season in the Europa League, no one knows how Manchester United will develop, whether it will be much better or just the same, what is clear is that when they are lucky there will be opportunities, but as I said, lucky opportunities like this are very unlikely to happen.
If we talk about hopes, I sure many people hope that Manchester United will be able to perform much better next season and be able to show their best performance in competing, but on the other hand there are several conditions that make some people doubt Manchester United performance.

What is clear is that Dortmund is not team with winning mentality, and whatever the conditions, it will definitely be very difficult for Dortmund to beat team like Real Madrid, this season several team have emerged with big surprises but they are not completely lucky.
I just curious about how each team is preparing to start next season, this will be very interesting and provide sense of curiosity.
