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.
Perhaps thats what Manchester United is focused on achieving this season but that's not what I expected from an experienced coach as Ruben Amorim because it's not certain that Manchester united will be able to win the Europa league, so why not channel efforts too in the EPL where they are really declining on the table by at least fighting to secure a place in the top four of the table they can still get to qualify for the UCL if they failed to win the Europa league, because from the two options i wonder which is harder to achieve but if you ask me i will say it's winning the Europa.
I actually see both of them will be difficult for United. Although they may have a chance in the Europa League. But who knows the tactics that Amorim has, what we see now is the overall performance of United's appearance in all competitions. We can judge it, Amorim's team is not really strong. For the competition in the Premier League, it is even very difficult to catch up with the top 5 standings. In the Europa League, they may also hope to be the luckiest team for the next round. If they are not lucky, they may be eliminated soon.
Do they really have a chance with winning the Europa league as they do with ending up in the top four at the end of the EPL season? Although they haven't lost a single game in 8 matches in the Europa league but they are currently not leading on the table rather Lazio is leading followed by Athletico Madrid with same points as Lazio. Manchester United performance doesn't really seem convincing enough to believe they will win the Europa league and that's why am dismissing their supposed priority over winning the Europa league as means to get to the UCL next season than getting into the top four in the EPL. There's still much games to play and if they can be determined they can find a spot.
