As a result of the most recent draw that took place this morning, the opponent that Manchester United will face in the quarterfinals of the Europa League has been revealed. The Ruben Amorim team is expected to face more formidable opponents, which could potentially eliminate them from the competition early on.
Unbeaten throughout the entirety of the new Europa League, Manchester United emerged victorious.
Even though the 1-1 draw that Manchester United played against FC Twente in September felt like a loss, the team has gone through every group stage match without suffering a single defeat under their belt.
Since then, the team has won five games in a row against PAOK, Bodo/Glimt, Plzen, Rangers, and FCSB on consecutive occasions. In spite of the fact that it is not the Champions League, it is noteworthy that United is the only team in the group stages that has not suffered a single defeat.
Manchester United finished in third place, which helped them secure a spot in the top eight of the Europa League next round. An additional £500,000 in prize money was awarded as a result of this.
In addition to this, it effectively grants a “bye” until the final 32 of the playoff knockout round, removing two fixture dates from the calendar and providing Ruben Amorim with the much-required additional time on the training pitch.
In accordance with the configuration of the Europa League, United could face four different teams in the subsequent round.
After the draw is made, the winner of the tie will play United, and the other will play Tottenham.
The upcoming matches for United in the Europa LeagueAfter this, Manchester United will not compete in the Europa League until the month of March, with the final 16 matches taking place on the sixth and thirteenth of the month.
It is because of this that United’s players will have some time off between now and then, and United will be optimistic about our chances of progressing regardless of who we play.
