I understand that many doubt Man United based on their performance in the domestic league. But I agree with you that Man United in the Europa League is a little different. Because until now Man United has never lost in the European League since the initial phase until the round of 16. And this shows that Man United really has big ambitions here.
Amorim also seems to have started to find a suitable strategy for the Man United squad. So I also have high hopes for Man United in the European League. And I might also bet on Man United winning the match against Lyon in the quarter-finals.
The difference in appearance shown by Manchester United in the Europa League is of course because they are so focused on pursuing the Europa League trophy. With an aggregate of 5-2 in two legs when silencing Real Sociedad, it has shown how ambitious Manchester United is to conquer every opponent in the Europa League competition, but the next opponent is so tough that Manchester United must be able to work harder to realize their hopes of reaching the final.
On the other hand, the only hope for them is of course to make the best possible opportunity because Lyon is not a weak team so the struggle in the quarter-finals will be harder for the Red Devils squad. Amorim must see this opportunity well because they can play in the Champions League if they succeed in becoming champions.
Well, because in the Premier League it feels like Man United no longer has any hope of pursuing a good ranking. They only need to finish at least in the top 10 to maintain their team's reputation. Meanwhile, in the European League, Man United will definitely fight harder because it is from the European League that Man United will have the opportunity to win tickets to the UCL next season.
Indeed, fighting Lyon will not be easy at all. It's just that if Amorim no longer changes their strategy then the Man United team should be quite comfortable with the strategy they are currently using. But if Amorim makes another change then it will not be good at all for the team which will face a quite important match.
