I was also surprised by how well these two teams did in the Europa League, especially compared to how they did in the Premier League.
I'm looking forward to the match between United and Lyon and as a United fan, I hope they will win but I don’t have the psychology to be so arrogant, the club has the mentality of a wet dishcloth. United should just be ready to fight for every game as it comes
Hopefully Man United can maintain their unbeaten record in the UEL this season, but the fewer teams left, the more difficult the opponents they will face. Their next match will be against Lyon, of course this team cannot be underestimated because they are also very ambitious to qualify for the semifinals. Whatever happens, Man United must take every opportunity to score goals, only by winning the UEL trophy can they automatically qualify for the UCL next season.
Manchester United has a very big motivation to win the Europa League title this season so they can get a ticket to the Champion League next season because this is the only possible way for Manchester United to get it.
Regarding the difference in performance of a team when playing in domestic competitions and also the Europa League, I think it is common, we have seen it happen since long ago, there are even several teams that can become Europa League champions even though their performance has declined in the domestic league so it is also possible for Manchester United this season and I am quite optimistic for Manchester United, especially since until now they have not been defeated in the Europa League even though the strength of the remaining teams in the Europa League is quite even now, but I am sure Manchester United can be the difference for all of that, and at least for Manchester United now they have great hope to win the title.
