Why is Manchester United heavily tipped to win this Europa as if this is some walk in the park Roll Eyes
3 games away from lifting the cup and it's anybodies trophy, but some pundits say this is mockery to the competition for a team like Manchester United who are close to bottom getting that golden ticket to crash the party for Champions League football, not sure if such has happened before.. but we shall wait and see what waits them tommorow.
Manchester United barely beat Lyon in 120 minutes and were matched with Atletico Bilbao in the semi-finals. Atletico Bilbao is a team that comes after Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the league and is a very difficult team compared to Manchester United. United, who are in 14th place in the Premier League, are experiencing inconsistency in their home performances. Considering their inability to maintain their 2-0 lead in the Lyon match and their weaknesses in defense, it is very difficult for them to get past Atletico Bilbao. Athletic, who are already in the Champions League pot in La Liga, will be comfortable here and will rest their good players and come out on the field fresh.
The Europa League is the only way for Manchester United to seal a place in the Champions League if they are able to become champions, but if you look at their current performance then of course everyone will be very pessimistic because the opponent they face in the semi-finals is Atletico Bilbao. When compared to United then Bilbao is clearly better in terms of overall statistics. However, hope for the Red Devils is still open, Amorim really must be able to take advantage of this situation in order to maintain his reputation because there is no other way to fix all the slumps that have occurred except by winning the title in this tournament.
I think we will watch a completely focused Manchester United in the Europa League. Because their standings in the Premier League are very bad. Also, a Premier League team, Tottenham, is in a similar situation. So both teams have the chance to reach the final, but the opponents they will face will really challenge them. We can talk about a slightly easier opponent for Tottenham, but Manchester United's job is really more difficult. Athletic Bilbao is one of the best teams in Spain. I am sure they will challenge them. Every team wants to be in the Champions League next year and that is why they want to be the winners of the Europa League.
