Man United performed quite well in the Europa League not having a defeat only 3 times the series was quite good than other teams but still their problems in the Premier league still cannot be determined while up to here Man United has qualified enough with Spurs.

Although in the Premier League does not have a long hope while in this tournament Man United can be able to chase the trophy even though it is a bit heavy, but I think Amorin can go further in this tournament.

Now 5 matches winning streak and thumbing win against FCSB give them third spot into league table is surely big achievement for them while their performance in Premier League is still questionable due to poor finishing and worst defense.

In last 7 games, they are having 5 wins and 1 lost which are encouraging sign but still it's going to be not easy for them to have any good chance for going into top ranks while their coming 2 games are also good for them both at Old Trafford first against Crystal Palace and then Leicester City.

This game against FCSB surely have good impact on their moral and also will give them good motivation, but they needed to be done something serious for setting their dressing room issues which are now creating chaos specially Rashford issues is serious which needed to be fixed for good moral of team.

It's not easy to tell how good Manchester United really was as their opponents so far were Twente (1-1), Porto (3-3), Fenerbahce (1-1), PAOK (2-0), Bodo/Glimt (3-2, very close), Pilzen (1-2), Rangers (2-1) and FCSB (0-2). Now that Manchester United is stumbling in the Premier League and expectations have been significantly reduced, it looks as if they have been doing very well in the Europa League. But years ago nobody would have been impressed by this performance. All these opponents should be quite easy games for them.

What is good about their Europa League performance is the trend because they began with three draws in the first three games, but then won the last five games, which is of course a sign of improvement at least in the Europa League. But it should be taken into account that they scored the winning goal against Pilzen after 88 minutes and the winning goal against the Rangers after 92 minutes. It is all much closer than it looks now.
