However, football can be unexpected, we can't say that Manchester United is performing badly right now and will fail to make it to the Europa League final. Haven't you seen a team selected as the best loser in a group stage go ahead to win a tournament? Manchester United can go to the final and win the title, however, we do not know what the management may do during this transfer window to bring in additional players to improve their performance. Remember that Manchester United is one of the unbeaten teams in Europa.
Manchester United is a team with a lot of potential, but it can't realize that potential in any way. I think Manchester United should take the Europa League tournament with great responsibility because at the moment it is almost the only chance to get a ticket to the Champions League and more or less save a disastrous season in the eyes of fans and experts. Another question is that the specifics of the cup tournament suggest that there will be only one winner and Manchester United clearly does not look like a favorite for the tournament, especially since the club also needs to focus on the Premier League in order not to be in the basement of the standings and, oh horror, even qualify for the championship.
Manchester United needs to focus more on UEL than EPL because they can easily succeed in UEL. EPL is very tough for Amorim with the set of players in the team and there is no need putting too much attention there. What Amorim needs to do is to make sure United stays in a good position on EPL table and qualify automatically with UEL to UCL next season. He can achieve it, if him and his men are determined and improve their performance constantly.
