Yeah of course these situations do happen every now and then and it eventually covers the poor season performance of the team in the other side of the competition where they had it badly with performance. I think Manchester United would have to win the Europa trophy to clear in no time this disappointing results they're getting in the EPL from the hearts of their fans, more like placating them with the Europa league if they win it. So that's why they have to make sure they continue getting good results in the Europa and not let the poor results in the EPL affect their games over here and eventually they could get pass other opponents, reach the finals and win it.
Right now I prefer not to believe in any team. It doesn't mean I doubt Man United, but I just don't want to expect too much like last season when I was too sure about the strongest team but in the end another team got the title. I still hope Man United can get through every obstacle in this UEL. But I just don't want to expect too much. Because we also have to consider other things like injured players who can cause a big disaster for the team.
What a great preference, which you could put in different words like I love every club. I think it makes more fun to express your opinion why and why not some team in your thoughts may have the best chances to win the Europa League. It is so much soso, soso all the time. But there are many points worth mentioning why one team might be above the other with respect of the chances to win after all. Man United is mentioned all the time because I think that is what most posters here are familiar with. Get to know the teams and get a discussion going.
