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.
The present is certainly very different from the time when Alex Ferguson was still coaching Manchester United who even had a better chance of qualifying for the Champions League directly instead of the Europa League. However, that has become history that does not need to be reminded again even though it is a very sweet history for Manchester United and also for the fans of the Manchester United team itself. Because for now Manchester United must be able to take advantage of its golden opportunity by being in the Europa League because if Manchester United is able to win the trophy in the Europa League this season, of course there will be many congratulations to the team and also to Ten Hag who is still the team's coach at this time.
