Manchester United will be one of the favorites to win the UEL. But we cannot place United in first place as the favorite team to win. They managed to win the FA cup but to be honest they were not the strongest team in the UEL and they also did not appear impressive in the League. United must be able to solve some of their problems this season to improve their performance next season. There are many other strong teams competing in UEL. And there are several teams from UCL that will play in UEL. Some teams can provide surprises, such as Atalanta who managed to beat Liverpool and Leverkusen and become champions. I'm sure no one puts Atalanta as the favorite to win.
Manchester United is one of the big teams that will play in the European League next season so it is quite natural that they are one of the favorites, but we also must not forget that there are still several other strong teams that are more favorites than Manchester United, although the European League is not tight like as the Champions League, but we know that all the big teams are also targeting and prioritizing the European League trophy for them to get, so it will indeed make the European League very competitive and often suprises when many favorite teams being eliminated from the underdog teams like is happened this season.
Manchester United, who will play in the European league next season, of course have a lot of time to improve their quality and performance to compete in the European league and English league next season, so make Ten Hag has quite a tough job for him to make Manchester United even better next season, especially since the competition trophy they will participate in next season will be proof for Ten Hag of the full trust that Manchester United continues to give him after their poor performance last season
