Compared to United, Athletic look like a top club - Athletic have 5 defeats and 26 goals conceded, while United have 15 defeats and 46 goals conceded

In general, 15 defeats sounds shocking.
If you look at it on paper, then Athletic or Bodo should win the Europa League, the rest of the results will be extremely unfair in terms of sporting logic.
Comparing the records 2 clubs in the league is not a fair way, obviously level and competitors are different,
almost all of us agree Premier League is tougher than other leagues and the fact is Premier League has 2 representatives here. If we want to compare, just look at how their journey to reach this stage, full of struggle and experience plays an important role here. I think Man United are more likely to be favourites, they have everything to keep fighting like experience, mentality and motivation this combination can be seen in their last match against Lyon. If you ask me who their opponents in the final yeah of course Tottenham, somehow i'm pretty sure PL clubs will dominate CL and UEL.
Seriously? The EPL is a farm league that an oil club can win 4 times in a row. Maybe if you compare only the middle of the tournament table, the EPL has a slight advantage, but overall La Liga >> EPL. None of the Premier League clubs outside the top category have won anything in Europe, while clubs like Sevilla, even when on the brink of relegation in La Liga, can win the European Cup. Look at those who won the Europa League - Sevilla, Atalanta, Eintracht, Villarreal, etc. If you go back in history, there will be anyone like Zenit, Porto, CSKA, Shakhtar, but there is not a single non-top club from the EPL.
