UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Chilwell]

This is the only competition that Man United have to fight for, so there is no excuse for losing and if they do, the criticism of Amorim management will surely increase. There is nothing more they can do in the EPL, the chance of finishing in the top 10 will not secure a ticket to the Europa League next season. Playing at home requires The Red Devils to dominate the game but Sociedad are also not an easy team to beat. Amorim must ensure his squad is really ready for this tough match.

The two England teams that were involved in yesterday's match really impressed me. I wasn't surprised with Tottenham's victory but that of Manchester United I wasn't too sure of that due to their recent performance. Despite Real sociedad fair performance, I wasn't confident in Manchester United's victory but they tend to prove me wrong.

I think what we should be focusing on is their next match of UEFA Europa League, Lyon - Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur - Eintracht Frankfurt both opponent for both teams are also very strong but nevertheless, I trust them they will find their way to make it to next stage of the competition. Amorim have tried his best to bring out the best performance in Manchester United but up to this moment he is still finding it difficult, but with their performance in UEFA Europa League at least he can be able to prove himself for the management.

Sure manchester united really possessed real socieded in the second half of the game, you know manchester united had the opportunity to win this match with more goals but they couldn't utilize it.

Heated competition between all these teams and Manchester United saved themselves this time against a respectable opponent. It became quite rare to see Manchester United scoring many goals and in UEFA competition.
What is interesting in yesterday's matches was Roma defeat against Athletic Bilbao by 3 goals. Besides, Ajax Amsterdam was trashed by Eintrach Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur made a good comeback in the second leg. Fenerbahce tried their best and was kicked by penalties at the end..
I find Lazio and Bilbao favourite to advance even further regarding their games next round.

Manchester United did surprised the world yesterday against Real sociedad with an unexpected performance. After Real sociedad's first goal they fought tirelessly to level the game before the 20th minutes of the game. Bruno Fernandes's performance on the game was perfect, creating chances and distributing the ball appropriately. Though hojlung inability to convert chances on the game was questionable but he was a bit mobile on the game more than other games. That's a sign he has started working on himself. Looking at the defense line, heaven played beyond expectation holding and controlling the ball confidently without mistake.

After no longer having hope in the domestic league of course the European league is their only chance this season to win trophies and also play in the UCL next season, so it is not surprising that they appear very spartan and consistent in the European league.
The victory over sociedad should open our eyes to no longer underestimate them in the European league, conceding 1 goal in the 10th minute did not make manchester united frustrated and even I saw if they could respond very quickly to catch up, So far, Fernandes has shown his role is very crucial as  a motor in their midfield, even I see the game of Manchester United in the last few matches is very dependent on the performance and consistency of Bruno Fernandes in game.

I doubted Manchester United and I personally said that Real Sociedad was going to knock out Manchester United before the game in the tie started, but after i saw their performance Vs Real Sociedad in Spain then I saw for sure that Manchester were really going to be the ones to knock out Real Sociedad. During the game at Reale Arena last week, I saw how Manchester United played but were unlucky to have won that game that was when I was convinced the game will go in their favour at home when Real Sociedad comes to England

I also initially doubted United because almost throughout the season United's performance was unpredictable. But they have now managed to qualify for the quarter-finals, they worked hard enough to be able to advance this far. The victory in the second leg from Sociedad was truly extraordinary. Although Sociedad had to accept a loss with one red card, the match was United's.
United will next face Lyon, will it be an easier opponent than Sociedad or will it be even tougher? Lyon also managed to achieve a big victory from their previous opponents. Lyon vs United will be an interesting match.

Fenerbahçe did really well compared to the return match. They were less effective in the first half, they completely gained control in the second half and took the match to penalties.
Rangers were the better team in penalties. Fenerbahçe was supposed to be the Turkish team that would continue in the tournament but unfortunately it didn't happen.
I didn't even expect this much from Fenerbahçe in the return match. Let's say next year, there's nothing we can do.

It's definitely going to be hard win for united, I mean this season has been also very good in terms of performance by Olympic Lyon and they have somehow maintained that stride even the french league. Yesterday Manchester united pull another unexpected performance because that's the nature of the team currently because they always do the unexpected, I mean games in which you will give them the greens to win they will flop and play nonsense then the unbelievable games they tend to up their game.

[$crypto$]

I said yesterday doubting Man United would win but apparently the prediction was wrong, but at least Man United's hopes of qualifying have been fulfilled with a pretty great performance.

With Aramburu's red card it made it easy for Man United's attack to be 4-1 especially I would not expect this big score.
At least Amorin still has hope with the Europa League while the Premier League is still far from good.

That is what people were expecting from them, despite the first impression given to them in the first half to make Manchester united players not to lead the game failed when they made the game 2:1. Truly Manchester united did a surprised winning in this second leg because they played their opponent to let people know that there was a mistake in the first leg that made the game to ended up in that way.

Manchester united players really control balls in the second half that give people confident to watch the game till the end, because their coach brought in some players that made their opponent to experience some mistakes in the midfield that create many chances for Manchester united players to secured victory from the second leg.

Manchester United's performance in the first leg shown that they made mistakes. I did not believe Manchester United would perform better in the second leg because their performance was bad, resulting in a draw against Real Sociedad in the first leg. I think Amorim is doing everything he can to win the Europa League for Manchester United this season, since he has noticed that they can no longer win the Premier League and that it will be extremely difficult to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League the following season. They have lost all of the minor cups and are now focusing solely on the Europa League, which gave them extra motivation to win the match last night. I am very impressed with the players, and if they play as well as they did against Real Sociedad, they should be in excellent form this season, but they are not doing well in other competitions. If Amorim continues to perform well, he will lead Manchester United to the Europa League finals this season and most likely win the trophy for them, allowing them to receive free tickets to the Champions League without having to finish in the top four.

Manchester United played pretty good in the first leg but the strikers wasted the chances created to score more goals. Assuming it wasn't Fernandez, who would have done all the scoring for United yesterday. The two penalties also helped United to have more confidence in the match. Imagine Dalot came from the back to score. United attackers are all mannequins.

In as much as Manchester United attackers have been having such a very bad season I don’t think the game yesterday was a game that they deserved to be called Mannequins because both Hojlund and Zirkzee were ok yesterday. The first penalty was actually caused by Hojlund run into the box to got clamped down, he missed to chances that were close ranged and I think it was lack of confidence, but overall he bullied the defense and that was what actually got Manchester united space on the flank. Gernacho on the right was definitely superb he did most of the work running towards that Sociedad defense and was also unlucky not to score, I see why Amorim plays him from there now.

As for Zirkzee I think he was a joy to watch. Seems he has found his place as a 9.5 and not the usual pointed man, right now he is one of the most undroppable players in the team and allows the midfield pivot of Bruno and Casemiro to simply just tackle only, he was involved in all most every of Manchester United goal. So they might have not score but at least they give the performance that made their team to score

After a long time I have seen good gameplay from Manchester United players. In this match Manchester United players were very confident. Their only goal was to win the match. Amorim's match strategy was also very good. And Manchester United was able to win the match till the end.

I would say that if Manchester United can continue such performance in the upcoming matches of Europa League then Manchester United has a big chance of winning the Europa League title. Manchester United is going to face Lyon in the quarter finals. If they can perform like yesterday's match, Manchester United will get an easy win against Lyon.

That's what often happens to United. Amorim is still struggling to keep his team's performance stable with positive results. But United can only rely on the Europa League this season, so I'm sure Amorim is also working hard to maximize the potential of his players on the field.
I rarely bet on United, that's because of their performance. If I want to bet on United I will bet on the smallest risk possibility.

[Litzki1990]

Manchester United team was very competitive in the beginning, where Real Sociedad team scored a goal but did not get a chance to score again later. Manchester United entered the next round with a very big result in this match, Manchester United became even stronger after half time in this match.
 In this match, Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick, he was able to score three goals in this match based on his experience and performance. Basically, in today's match, Manchester United won by facing great challenges and each player was able to win.

We saw a good competition between Manchester United and Real Sociedad in the first match, so we thought that the second leg match would also be good, but Manchester United beat Real Sociedad by a big margin at their home ground. Manchester United secured a 4-1 victory in the second leg match at their home ground. Manchester United secured the next round with a big win. Now Manchester United have completed their plans for their quarter final match. The way they performed in the Super Sixteen, they went to the quarter finals and they need to perform in the quarter finals as well and secure a ticket to the semi finals. Expectations from all other teams in the European League this season but Manchester United are high, so expect Manchester United to achieve something good in this season of the European League.

Even if Fenerbahce played better in the return match, which of course proves the 0-2 scoreline, they lost the first match at home in Turkey horribly... It must have been a nightmare for Mourinho with a lot of players injured or carded... Such a score for a 3-1 home game is really a shame... It was good that they were able to equalise the goals, but luck was on Rangers side...

Pretty though match-ups. We are in Quarter Final stage now. 8 teams fight for one Cup.
The last 8 teams in the tournament:

Bodø/Glimt - Lazio
Lyon - Manchester United
Glasgow Rangers - Athletic Bilbao
Tottenham Hotspur - Eintracht Frankfurt

Finally a dangerous opponent for Tottenham, I don't even know who to consider the favorite here. Perhaps the fact that the decisive game will be in Germany will play its role, the main thing for Eintracht is not to fail the first one. With Lazio everything is clear, the remaining two pairs are quite even. It's still a shame that even at the quarter-final stage the pairs look like they were in the Conference League a couple of years earlier.

Well Tottenham had a lot of troubles against AZ and they struggled a lot it was seen in the first leg,now again Frankfurt its gonna be really close and it can go either way. The easiest opponent on paper Lazio has. Bodo/glimt aint that good and Lazio must take advantage of this.

According to H2H stats, Lyon has never won Man United. They've met 5 times and United has won 2 and drew 3. I'm not basing my prediction on past history but I think the red devils can make it pass Lyon. I consider Real Sociedad a more stronger opponent and they were able to scale through despite the absence of some key players. Ugarte and Mount are back and more players are to follow which will be a boost and I think will increase their chances of making it through.

[AprilioMP]

Sir Jim Ratcliffe also said that Amorim is still doing good jobs with the players currently owned. But I am not an issue of Amorim but I highlighted how Manchester United's appearance, especially this season. If in UEFA Europe League they get good results, but in the Premier League they become an easy team for opponents to target points every time they face Manchester United.

I think having a pessimistic attitude towards Manchester United when facing Real Sociedad is not without reason where other people might have the same attitude towards the results that Manchester United will get later.

So far I think Ruben Amorim is failing in Manchester United but he joined the club in middle of season with lot of chaos and challenge as well as very bad mentality of their players. It's fairer for Amorim if we give him one more season (the next one) with a full summer season for player transfers and trainings, before we can conclude his management quality in the club.

Meeting Real Sociedad in UEFA Europa League is not easy for Manchester United, but it's their only hope to fight, win the title and go directly to a UEFA Champions League next season. If players they have now are still ambitious and want to play in Champions League, they will try as best as they can, because with knock out phases, they don't need to be strongest to win the title.

Although I am not a Manchester United fan, I think Amorim does not deserve to be called a failure with the squad he is managing.
On average, all players who entered the Manchester United line up in several competitions this season 90% were transfers made by the coach before Amorim.

Next season when the club management provides enough money to shop for players and Amorim does it, that's when we can start to judge how great he is in handling a club as big as Manchester United.
Amorim has succeeded in bringing Manchester United through to the quarter finals and meeting Lyon later will be a challenge for him.

Imagine Dalot came from the back to score. United attackers are all mannequins.

Manchester United's attack line still needs deeper improvement this season and also next season, because if the attack line is still weak like that, of course there will be no chance for Manchester United to compete again in the prestigious title race next season. Although for this season the team still has to focus on the Europa League and also focus on maintaining its position in the EPL so that it is not in a worse zone than now. In addition, the midfield also needs more evaluation so that the team's strength can be more stable and not chaotic like it is now.

[Polkeins]

It's a shame Mourinho is out of the tournament... Fenerbahce had good hopes of playing in the final, but Rangers were more fortunate... Atletico also easily broke Roma, although I thought Roma could win, but the red card decided the outcome of the match... Sociedad faced the same problem as Roma... The next rounds will be interesting...

Fenerbahce almost had it and if Youssef EN-Neseri had scored in the 4th added minute of the second half instead of missing from a great position with a shot above the goal, Fenerbahçe would have gone further ahead instead of losing in a penalty shootout. A penalty shootout is always a fluke and if a team reaches the penalty shootout stage, the luckier team will win.

Manchester United yesterday showed a game that hasn't been seen since Mourinho coached the team and it seemed that United players finally found their confidence. It was United's best game in recent times, especially in the second half when it finally looked like United were a top club.

United will next face Lyon, will it be an easier opponent than Sociedad or will it be even tougher? Lyon also managed to achieve a big victory from their previous opponents. Lyon vs United will be an interesting match.

Judging from Lyon's recent performance with FCSM, how they were able to dominate the game, played at ease without stress and scoring a straight 4 goals in the entire match (i.e clean sheet). On the other hand, I could noticed Manchester United did actually had a tough time last time they played with FCSM, whereby they were unable to score a single goal until 60 minutes into the game, despite also winning with 2 goals also. But when it comes to this forthcoming game to be played in few days time and Lyon playing from home, I doubt, it's really not going to be an easy game to Manchester United, as it's likely to end draw with a penalty kick or victory to Lyon.
