Compared to Manchester United’s Premier League performance, they have really improved in the Europa League since they sacked Ten Hag as they have already won their last two matches in the Europa League which helped the team to be promoted to the eighth position in the Europa League’s table and it has increased their chance in the Europa League because they can now be considered among the favorites teams after Lazio, Bilbao, and Tottenham.
But if Amorim’s team didn’t win their next match, they might drop from their current position because it’s just three points between them and the 17th position which makes it very important to win their match.
Man United is currently ranked 7th in the Europa League standings with 12 points, quite interesting when looking at their journey because so far they have not been touched by defeat. This performance is in contrast to the Premier League, where Man United is still stuck outside the top ten of the standings. We know that Amorim needs time to boost the team performance, and I think they still have a chance to stabilize their performance in the second half of the season. If you look at the opportunities that Man United currently has, Amorim should prioritize the Europa League in the future.
Man United chances of getting full points in the next two matches are actually quite high, because the opponents they will face are not dominant teams. However, Amorim and his team should not be careless and underestimate them, because Ranger and FCSB also have the ambition to finish in the top 8 of the standings in order to automatically qualify for the last 16. Regardless of Man United's performance in the Premier League, I think Amorim squad deserves to be called a trophy challenger in the Europa League this season.
