Manchester United could have been a top team in the Europa League if Alex Ferguson was still the coach, but the situation is very different, Manchester United are still struggling to find their best form. As happened last season, initially Liverpool were highly favored to win the UEL trophy, but what happened was, they were surprisingly destroyed by Atalanta.
Surprises always come in football, big teams are not always able to win trophies, and so it is with Manchester United in the Europa League. Manchester United qualification to the Europa League through a special route after winning the FA Cup must be utilized by Ten Hag, this is a valuable opportunity for Ten Hag to prove his quality, if he still fails, perhaps Manchester United management will look for another coach to replace his position.
Man United didn't get Europa League tickets easily. They didn't get it from the Premier League quota because they finished poorly last season but, that was obtained from the FA final they won and it was a very hard struggle because their opponent is Manchester City. So Man United should be looking at the Europa League quite seriously because the opportunity they got was a hard fight. Man United made a lot of changes for this season, and I think that will also increase their chances in the Europa League.
