I think the winner of this cup could be Tottenham, the winner of the Europa League. Premier League is one of the strongest teams in the league. However, if we look at the game, they are better than Manchester United. Manchester United has almost the same rate, but I don't think they are very good in the qualifiers. They are lucky to continue in the Europa League. They could have been eliminated. Therefore, it wouldn't surprise anyone if they get a surprise defeat in some of the matches they will play in the Liga stage. Still, they are one of the favorites.
I think it is very difficult to make a prediction now... English teams play with a very intense and tiring tempo in the Premier League. That's why they can't or don't want to concentrate on these tournaments. I think it is natural that the English teams are the favorites but no English team will win this tournament. I think teams like Porto or Frankfurt, who have the characteristics of a tournament team, are the bigger favorites in this tournament. Of course, I would like to add that I am not ambitious in my prediction because it is too early to make a good prediction...
I don't also see Tottenham winning this league and i don't put my interest on the odds given by the bookmakers because I think we might see another club winning Europa this season just as we saw Atalanta surprised everyone last season.
With the current performance of Manchester united no one can tell if they will improve in performance in the long run but if it is with what they are playing now, I don't see them in the finals. Tottenham is also unpredictable. I think it is too early to conclude.
