Europa League winner odds have been announced. Some of them are as below.

Tottenham are the biggest favourite. Manchester United follow them right behind but I don't like their game at all for now. As for Turkish teams, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are given the same chance. But as for Beşiktaş, they have 41.00 odds. They are also doing really well in fact especially after bringing van Bronckhorst as their new coach and signing great players such as Immobile and Rafa Silva.

I think this is mainly because we could be judging from the performance of Tottenham last season and looking at the fact that except for Manchester United and a few others, most of the teams qualified for the Europa aren't coming from a very competitive domestic league. Manchester United is supposed to be the biggest rivals alongside Tottenham but their performance so far hasn't been really encouraging enough to see them in that regards, when Manchester United started off the season with a victory in their first game, it aroused some beliefs they could get better by the season but not long after they are displaying weakness already and this is in their domestic league so it raises doubts if they are going to perform well in the Europa.

Manchester United? Favorites for the Europa League? You've got to be kidding me. They're a mess. Ten Hag's tactics are all over the place, and the players look lost. Ugarte's a decent signing, but he's not going to fix their fundamental problems

Spurs, on the other hand, have a history of showing up in Europe. Postecoglou's got them playing a new style, and it's not perfect yet. But they've got that intangible quality; they know how to grind out results when it matters. The Europa League is wide open. Any team can get hot and make a run. But if you're looking at the favorites, Spurs are the clear choice. United? They're lucky to be in this competition. They need to focus on getting their own house in order before they start dreaming of European glory

When Real Madrid qualified for the Europa League, they did not consider the opponents of this league very important because they felt that Liverpool was much stronger than the teams that qualified for the Europa League and they could easily beat them. Due to their over confidence, they were eliminated from the quarter finals. However, the team that was not considered in the list of the best teams in the European League won the European League. Hopefully this season Manchester United won't feel too strong and underestimate other teams. Manchester United will surely consider each team as a tough opponent and will plan one game after another but they can end the tournament with a good result in the Europa League.
