Manchester United or Tottenham have qualified for the European League, but their chances of winning the European League title are not very high. Manchester United were early favourites, just like we had Liverpool last season, but last season Liverpool performed much worse than expected and crashed out of the Europa League.

But, Liverpool lose against the champion aka Atalanta lol, so technically it's not that surprising Liverpool lose, although we were surprised at that time.

This time it seems there are not many strong teams in Europa League, Roma without Mourinho is nothing, Real Sociedad perform bad recently, only Porto, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are likely become an underdog.

Even though Manchester United lose two times in Premier League, but you shouldn't forget if they lose against Brighton and Liverpool, both of them are strong.

Liverpool were beaten last season but not in the semi-final or final but much earlier. Liverpool are the team they lost to in the quarter-finals of the last match but eventually won the Europa League. This season, Manchester United has qualified for the European League, but there is no chance to consider Manchester United as favorites this season. With the way Manchester United are performing, they can easily lose to other opponents such as Roma and Brighton. The new season has not yet started but Manchester United should be alert in advance so that they can compete well with all these teams and they can write their name in the list of favorite teams.

Liverpool defeat last season in the Europa League was obviously something surprising because from the beginning of the season they were the favourites to win the Europa League, but when Liverpool were on the right track with an impressive win in the Premier League but Atlanta became a nightmare for Klopp squad at that time, so that's what makes me think that a team that plays well in the league will not necessarily be able to perform well in the Europa League and vice versa.
Manchester United this season is in inconsistent form in the league but it should not be for us to get rid of them as the favorite team in the Europa League later, because after all this time every team playing in Europe often has a very big ambition to win the championship trophy and maybe that is also the current ambition of Ten Hag to restore the trust of Manchester United fans in him.
