A complete season ended a few days ago and we all know what the results were last season. At the end of the last season, every team participated in the Euro and Copa America, so club level games are suspended for now, but club level games will be held again very soon. This season in the Europa League we will see several new teams with Manchester United being the most prominent. United are naturally considered favorites in the Europa League this season.
The European League will enter a new season with a new competition format so it is hoped that it will present tight competition and rivalry later, currently Manchester United is one of the teams that will try their luck next season in the European League, I don't know what your reasoning is to say that Manchester United is the favorite team to win the European League next season, Manchester United is indeed one of the big teams in the European League next season, but they probably won't be better than Tottenham Hotspur who will most likely keep their squad this season for play next season, while Manchester United are starting to make a lot of changes to their squad and that doesn't guarantee they will be better prepared to compete in the European league next season.
Manchester United is quite old and big team compared to other European League teams, so the European League spotlight will definitely be on Manchester United. But only considering the statistics will not mean that Manchester United must perform well but Manchester United can do well in the Europa League.
Big and successful teams in the past will not guarantee that they can easily win European competitions so far, because the atmosphere in the European league is very different from competition in domestic leagues so far, besides that it is too early for you to favor Manchester United as league champions. Europe next season, if you remember what happened this season when the favorite teams lost more quickly to the non-favored teams.
