UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[MainIbem]

Anyways Antony is doing pretty good in Brtis so seems like Manchester was the problem and not him.

The fact that he did not do too well or well enough as people would have expected from a player with such a price tag doesn't mean Manchester United were the problem.
We have seen it time and time again were a player did not spark at a team but did well at another team, Kevin debryne, Yaya Toure, Eden Hazard amongst other players are good example of this, it is difficult to say or to actually know what was the problem but I think the player also needs to take some responsibility so does the coach tactics, team spirit of the team they did not do well.
Players like Anthony leaving Manchester United on loan is an opportunity for them to prove people wrong and they always give their very best. Rashford is also doing well too at Aston Villa.

Eden Hazard was a star player before the left Chelsea to Madrid he was very outstanding in his last season at Chelsea and fans were very sad he left but on getting to Madrid he lost form and became so weak and prone to injury infact he didn't even play half of what he did at Chelsea in Madrid but then that doesn't mean Madrid were at fault cause they still did great that season, not all players find it easy to adapt to some certain environment, moreover Antony had more than enough chances to prove himself but then his performance was below that of Amad so he needed to leave, I could remember vividly that same measures was taken concerning Amad on several occasions and he performed well while on loan too, atleast the loaned players are proving people wrong and that's very good for their career.

Even without the appearance of Amad Diallo during the second leg, are you saying you are assured that Athletic Bilbao can score four goals against Manchester United without United scoring any? The chance of that happening is very slim. The fact that Manchester United has already defeated Bilbao 3-0 during the first leg, and the fact that Manchester United is going to play at home, is enough reason to believe United will qualify for the finals. Well, I will be waiting patiently to watch the outcome of the second leg of the match on May 8th at Old Trafford.

In soccer everything is possible while Manchester United is currently one of the worst sides in Premier League they have 3 wins and 3 draws from their last 10 games which is surely not good result for club like Manchester United. Their performance in Europa League is impressive, but they conceded 4 goals against Lyon with score as well, so things are balanced for them in this event, and they can hold Athletic Bilbao in this game for having spot into final their confidence level is surely high after having amazing result at Bilbao Spain so they could be delivered their best for this second leg game as well.

Amad Diallo is good player and his comeback is also good signal for Red Devils because with this attack is going to be had good approach Ruben needs to be had strong strategy for this game as this can make their season after having the worst performance.

[Tamaperdana]

The effect of the red card received by Athletic Club players which forced Bilbao to play with 10 players was a factor in favor of Manchester United when playing at San Mames.
It's different when Athletic Club comes to Old Trafford. I mean Manchester United must anticipate Bilbao's resurgence given Manchester United's poor performance in the Premier League.

One step has been taken by Manchester United in the final round. The anticipation I am referring to is Athletic Club's attempt to do what Lyon did. If Bilbao are able to score early in the match, then Manchester United will be overwhelmed by Bilbao's attack.

Yes, it is undeniable that the red card received by Bilbao's defender made it even more difficult for them to develop their game perfectly. That is why after that Bilbao immediately conceded another goal and finally the mentality of the Bilbao players fell and finally the scheme that had been planned by Bilbao was definitely all broken. That is why in the first leg Bilbao lost with a fairly big score. Maybe if in that match one of Bilbao's defenders did not get a red card, most likely the flow of the match would have been a little different. But even so we also have to admit that Manchester United is currently starting to rise again, so I personally think Manchester United's victory in this match is really reasonable.

And for the upcoming second leg, Bilbao will certainly provide very fierce resistance to Manchester United and will certainly be sharper than in the first leg. Because you could say the second leg will be a life and death match for Bilbao, because if Bilbao loses it is clear that they will fail to enter the final and their struggle will stop there. So it is certain that with this, Bilbao will play as well as possible in the second leg and it is indeed possible that Bilbao will give us all an unexpected surprise. So let's just see what will happen in the match.

Almost everyone knows Eden Hazard and he performed quite impressively when he was still a Chelsea player, but unfortunately when he played for Real Madrid his career did not go smoothly and injuries became a big problem so he lost his best touch which made his career even dimmer. Some Manchester United players who are loaned to other clubs are much more developed like Antony and Rashford, this is a problem that should be a point of evaluation for the coach.

Manchester United only have a chance in the Europa League to secure the trophy and this is also the best chance for them to qualify for the Champions League next season so Amorim must really take advantage of the conditions. Amad has started to be played in the last match and his presence can provide additional strength for Manchester United.

Anthony and Real Betis might be a threat to Chelsea in the Europa Conference League final because they are the only team that comes close to Chelsea in the Europa Conference League.

Manuel Pellegrini is a magician. Real Betis’ squad is so interesting, Their front 4 today consisted of a United flop, a Watford flop, a Spurs flop, a West Ham bench warmer, and then they have a former Southampton and Liverpool’s former backup keeper in goal.
Pellegrini can bring out the best in players. These coaches may not always win titles, but they are important in football because they bring out the best in their players.
Sometimes you need a proper coach to assemble the squad.

 They might try to avoid more goals but Manchester United have more advantage in that match and they'll definitely qualify for the finals, Bilbao have several set backs aside the red in the first leg, the Williams brothers are in doubt to play the match especially the eldest Iñaki Williams cause of the injury he sustained yesterday, his younger brother is not very fit and could be rested while their striker Oihan Sancet might not play against Manchester United too cause of fitness.

 I don't except Manchester United to lose at Old Trafford it would be very shameful if they do that at this stage, all odds of winning and qualifying for the finals is on them cause they have more advantage, the only key player that's not fit to play Bilbao is De ligt and they have replacement for him, so their's no excuse for Manchester United not to win or qualify for finals.

Man Utd are almost certain to qualify for the final, I don't see Bilbao being able to score 4 goals at Old Trafford and that is too much for a team that is missing several key players especially on the other hand Amorim has focused his squad fully on this competition and it was shown when they didn't field many of their main players against Brentford in the Premier League, so Man Utd will be looking to at least hold Bilbao to a draw or even if they have to lose their target is to lose narrowly.

This is my assumption and accurate statistics, Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester united in the Europa League final this season. As far I'm concerned already, Manchester United are in the Europa League final this season. What result can we expect from Athletic Bilbao? They messed up in the first leg at home, been issued a red card and making them 10 men facing the Red Devils, we know how distant and disturbing it was for the Spanish side, conceding 3 goals and you see that as enough? The Red Devils will be prepared and waiting for Athletic Bilbao to come to Old Trafford facing them with good intentions of winning.

Manchester United gained a big advantage in the first match and won the game. In the second match, things are a little easier because the opponent needs to score 3 goals without conceding a goal. This doesn't seem very possible, but we are used to seeing unexpected results in some matches, so the score of the first half of the match will be very important. If Manchester United finishes the first half 1-0 or 2-0 behind, things could change, but as I said, it's a difficult possibility.

[Mayor of ogba]

I have said it before, and I will say it again: Manchester United is destined to win this season's UEFA Europa League trophy, and there's nothing Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham Hotspur, or Bodø/Glimt can do to stop Manchester United from winning the UEFA Europa League trophy this season. With the number of goals Manchester United was able to score at San Mamés, I don't see Athletic Bilbao getting through to the UEFA Europa League final.

Lol, You do know Tottenham beat Manchester in their direct match in the Premier League, right? And it did it twice!
It was 3-0 for Tottenham at home and 1-0 when they play at Manchester!
So with those results, where does this overconfidence of yours come from?

From a game where, despite winning 3-0 it was still just 1-0 for Manchester till Athletic ended playing in 10 and United got a penalty kick?

You forgot that Manchester United conceded defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and not in UEFA Europa League competition, where Manchester United is still undefeated after playing 11 matches. Since I started following and watching football, I have seen where a club wins against a particular club in their local league, but when they meet that same club they won against in their local league in UEFA competition, they lose against the club they won against in their local league, so Tottenham Hotspur beating Manchester United twice in the Premier League is not a guarantee that Tottenham Hotspur will beat Manchester United if both clubs qualify for the UEFA Europa League final. Before Manchester United scored their second goal against Athletic Bilbao through a penalty spot, Manchester United had already scored their first goal against Athletic Bilbao, so the red card wasn't the reason why Manchester United beat Athletic Bilbao

I won't be taking Manchester United seriously anymore if they allow the unexpected to happen this time. What we all expect to see during the second leg is a clear victory from Manchester United, not just some kind of win by chance. It would be really embarrassing for Manchester United to get themselves defeated, considering their initial victory during the first leg, the quality of their squad, and the expectations from their fans all over the world. To me, Manchester United is already at the finals.

Nah, I don't think Manchester United will disappoint at this period, yes they are not a team but that's in their league, in the Europa league so far, they are a formidable team. I think they are still unbeaten in the competition if I'm not mistaken. If they don't win against Bilbao in the return leg then they might likely draw but let's take a worse case scenario, they might just lose with a one goal margin and still qualify for the finals. But if I'm to say from the way I have seen this Manchester United side in this competition, they will still beat Bilbao again and have an easy passage to the finals.

I quite agree with you, sometimes is good to change position and again it's just like a business, like one of the factors that affect business is change of location, this is what happened to some of the players, changing of teams sometimes does not favor them or most of them and I can also testify the players you mentioned. Anthony as been on my eyes since when he came to Manchester United and he wanted to play how he was playing with their former team then which he wanted to continue in that part, but unfortunately, it didn't work out for him. An up to this moment I always make sure I don't miss their game anytime they are playing and Anthony his the one I focus on due to the kind of like I have for him. It pains me when I see a youngster decline at is youthful age. I wish him success in Real Betis

Man Utd qualified for the final by 80%, this is considering that they have good capital to face the second leg with a very convincing aggregate plus Amorim is indeed focused on the European league, we can see in the domestic league Amorim rotated players. In addition, Man Utd so far in the European league is also undefeated so this will be more motivation for Amorim to maintain this positive trend. The first leg of Man Utd's game was very impressive, this will also be applied again later by Amorim in the second leg, so the possibility of a draw or loss is unlikely unless they make a fatal mistake.

So my prediction is that Man Utd will qualify for the final and will likely face Spurs, because they also have an aggregate that is difficult for Bodo to reverse. However, if in the final match later Man Utd plays like against Bilbao (slow tempo, losing the ball, low intensity, no players can penetrate the pressing) it is guaranteed to lose, because Tottenham's pressing is much fiercer than Bilbao. So Man Utd won against Bilbao, don't be proud yet, instead the homework will be even harder for Amorim because the weaknesses of Man United players are very easy to remember by Tottenham players, if Man Utd wants to be champions, Amorim must create a style of play when playing against Tottenham in the final.

Anthony and Real Betis might be a threat to Chelsea in the Europa Conference League final because they are the only team that comes close to Chelsea in the Europa Conference League.

Manuel Pellegrini is a magician. Real Betis’ squad is so interesting, Their front 4 today consisted of a United flop, a Watford flop, a Spurs flop, a West Ham bench warmer, and then they have a former Southampton and Liverpool’s former backup keeper in goal.
Pellegrini can bring out the best in players. These coaches may not always win titles, but they are important in football because they bring out the best in their players.
Sometimes you need a proper coach to assemble the squad.

Pellegrini is very successful in bringing out the magnificent. Everyone was very surprised about Antony too, but we are talking about a coach who knows how to use a player in the best way. We are talking about a technical director who is aware of the talents of the players. If Real Betis wins a European cup this year, Pellegrini will be the biggest hero of this.

[TastyChillySauce00]

With so many opinions about Tottenham h2h against United. I don't really take it because it's only league games, pretty much different when it comes to the European competition. I have seen enough clubs performed badly in league won european trophy. It seems this rule really applicable this season.
MU is obviously has 99.9% chance to qualify for the final, while Totenham has around 85% to make it happen. However, i still hope the god to help Bodo in doing something against Tottenham.

It seems MU vs Totenham as the final will happen soon. Talking about the winner. I prefer to see MU to win it instead of Tottenham. An ideal team to win the europa league.  

[BALIK]

It seems MU vs Totenham as the final will happen soon. Talking about the winner. I prefer to see MU to win it instead of Tottenham. An ideal team to win the europa league.  

Tottenham and Manchester United are going to face each other in the final unless Tottenham performs badly in the next match. Bodo/Glimt is a very strong team at home. We have seen Bodo/GLimt play well in every home match of the Europa League platform. Even then Tottenham is ahead by 2 goals. The team is somewhat in the safe zone.

If Tottenham vs Manchester United is the final, I will bet on Manchester United. Manchester United's overall performance is still stable and stronger than Tottenham. Tottenham will not be able to win against Manchester United.

But if I'm to say from the way I have seen this Manchester United side in this competition, they will still beat Bilbao again and have an easy passage to the finals.

The final is no longer about favorites, there is no probability of teams to play in the finals. Two teams that are already qualified based on their performance in the first leg, Tottenham and Manchester United are the teams to play final, who wins is what we have left to talk about.

Long wait for Tottenham to win a trophy since they last did in 2008, a very long time for them not to take the opportunity of beating Manchester United to break the long reign of waiting for a title.

[KTChampions]

I know we Manchester United fans are big with European competitions especially in the finals, however I don't consider Tottenham Hotspur worthy enough to challenge Manchester for a big European finals like the one approaching but what's said above in that image by the manager scares the shiit out of me.

When people talk about Hotspur or United, they should also consider that they talk about nr 15 and 16 in the standings in Premier Legue, and a team that beat like who? Lyon? 7th in the Ligue! Real Sociedad? 11th in La Liga!

I mean, seriously, look at who they are playing against 
Neither of them is champion material by any means.

Completely agree.
The irony is that some of these bums will get into the Champions League along with the clubs that earned their ticket in the fight in the Premier League. If in previous seasons this made some sense, then in the new format it looks extremely dubious - the level of the competition is too low to be rewarded so generously. Plus, now literally a third of the Premier League will be in the Champions League - 6 teams according to the scheme: 4 seeded + 1 bonus ticket for the UEFA rating + bonus for winning the EL.

[Adbitco]

Well in as much as we all think that both Tottenham and Manchester United has already advanced to the finals because they are leading by a 2 and 3 goals margin respectively, it's also important to note that comebacks do happen in football at any point in time. That's why it's said "it's not over until it's over" don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there will be a comeback but in football anything is possible. If it were not so, then they would have just advanced to the next stage without playing the return leg.
