Manchester United is aiming at winning the trophy so that they can automatically get a ticket to UCL, and to achieve this goal, United have been performing pretty good in this competition, despite the challenges that they are having in EPL. Tottenham is also in the same shoes with United but United current performance looks more promising to win the league than Tottenham, because Amorin is still building the team, and we might see a sudden change in their performance.
Getting a ticket to the Champions League by winning the European Cup competition is the only way that Manchester United can take at the moment. Because in my opinion, in the Premier League, Manchester United no longer has high hopes of finishing in the top 4. The reason is that currently Manchester United is only able to be in 13th place in the Premier League and their performance was also less than convincing in their last match. The reason is that in Manchester United's last match in the Premier League they had to suffer a quite painful defeat against a team like Crystal Palace. The reason that made Manchester United's defeat even more painful was because Manchester United was defeated by Crystal Palace at home in that match. If you look at this, it is clear that Manchester United no longer has high hopes of finishing in the top 4 in the English league.
Apart from that, even in the European league, I think Manchester United will still have difficulty getting a trophy. Because Manchester United's current performance is not good, I think it will still have an impact on their matches in the European league. That's why I personally actually have a little doubt that Manchester United can become champions in the European league. Although it is true that currently Amorim is still in the process of making Manchester United's performance recover again. But still, in my view Manchester United currently has not made significant progress since being coached by Amorim. So with this, I think Manchester United will find it difficult to become champions in the European league. And until now we are still waiting for the play-off round to start, so we don't know who Manchester United will be against in the round of 16. It could be that Manchester United's opponent is a strong team, so Amorim really has to prepare his team better at this time.
