I feel this league would be in favor of United because this is their only hope to qualify to UCL if they can win the league. However, when the transfer window will open, Amorim will get some new players to strengthen the team and that should bring more hope for them to go far in this competition.
It is their only shot at playing in europe next season but there are other good teams like Galatasaray, Lazio, Tottenham, Porto etc, fighting for the same trophy. So it's not going to be easy for United to get pass them. It's one step at a time and Amorim has done well to get them back to a nice spot in other to qualify for the next stage of the competition. It is how United perform in the next stage that would determine if they actually stand a chance. I want to see them in europe next season and I hope they win it.
The January transfer window offers a solution for Ruben Amorim, who I think should be used to revamp the depth of Manchester United squad. This move would give Manchester United the chance to win the Europa League trophy this season, which would lead to them appearing in the Champions League next season, the hope of getting a ticket to the Champions League through the Premier League is currently almost impossible to realize. The defense is an area that Ruben Amorim must improve, because the number of goals they concede is currently very high.
The Europa League always presents many unexpected surprises every season, teams that appear more dominant often fail here, even if they come from highly competitive leagues like the Premier League. I think, initially, Lazio, Athletic Bilbao, and Anderlecht were not teams that were considered likely to be at the top of the standings with an undefeated record. This performance clearly puts all three of them on the list of favorites to win the Europa League this season along with several other strong candidates.
