But I wonder if that will be enough to play a main role in the CL this year. ManU has had big problems in three consecutive games against second-tier teams at European level. They lost against Young Boys Bern, won against Villareal in the last minute by luck and yesterday against Bergamo they won by luck again. The real tests will come against teams like PSG, ManCity or Bayern.
What's important is that their defense is strong if that player is to be dominated in a major role for UCL this year, but I'm sure if Man United have a back-up for the defense then it's quite a relief and they chose to play.
In the play offs, Man United will definitely qualify, they have 6 points, only one more win and that's safe, it's just that after entering this the toughest and the opponents mentioned are the strongest candidates, especially when they meet PSG or Bayern Munich, I don't know how Man United faced this to win.
