Ten Hag's success with Man United in winning the FA Cup is a delayed success, perhaps some people are proud of that, but for some fans it is not enough to just get the FA Cup, in fact Ten Hag's target is to bring Man United to the European Cup but the difficulty of his tactics is  Ten Hag has not been able to bring the Red Devils to the Europa League or Champions League zone, management still has great trust in him, that's why he has survived until now, even though he only won the FA Cup last season and finished in 8th place in the standings.  embarrassing thing for Red Devils fans.

Maybe you don't know how bad Manchester United was before Erik Ten Hag came into the club as manager, you're not in the dressing room so you don't have no idea of how they've been poor. Y'all are too quick to slander a manager giving the club his best. Talks about the money he has spent like they had no  sporting director in charge of all that.

Which manager has won back to back trophies for Manchester United post Sir Alex Ferguson? Who has taken them to three finals in two seasons? The FA Cup Competition wasn't given freely, they worked hard for it, don't forget they won both Liverpool and Manchester City, two top sides in the Premier League Competition to win the FA Cup Competition. Believe me Erik Ten Hag is headed the right way.

I see crazy comparisons between Erik Ten Hag and Ole Gunner Solskjaer and i find it insulting, Ole Gunner Solskjaer is nowhere near Erik Ten Hag as manager. He had his chances of winning a trophy and he settled for penalties for a game he would have won during the 70th minute of the game. That's enough to show how poor he is.

Manchester United will get back to the highest levels with Erik Ten Hag, he is the right manager he needs time. Glad he has backing right now.

On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken next season the competition for the Europa League trophy will be easier, because the Champions League participants will no longer go to the Europa League like in previous seasons, this is the result of the change in format in the Champions League.
Right. All teams of europa league knockout stage will come from its own league phase and no team from champions league will go to europa League.

Champions league and europa league will have the same format. 16 teams will advance to the knockout stage (8 top teams of the league phase and 8 teams from the play-off matches between 9th to 24th placed teams) and all other teams will be eliminated

The success of winning the FA Cup has paved the way for Manchester United to appear in the Europa League, this opportunity must be utilized as best as possible to reach an even better level. Ten Hag has a big responsibility this season after he failed to make Manchester United appear consistently in the EPL, the team's shortcomings must be immediately patched to make the squad he leads appear even more solid. Appearing in the Europa League makes Manchester United's match schedule even more busy, the players must be prepared to anticipate the worst possibility.

The arrival of quality players will really help Manchester United perform even better than their performance last season. There is still a possibility for Manchester United to win the Europa League, but on condition that they have to perform consistently since the competition started. The competition in the Europa League is very competitive, making Ten Hag have to formulate his team with a strategy that can reach the level shown by Atalanta last season. The players have to cover each other's weaknesses and maintain unity in all lines.

In the midst of a busy schedule there is bound to be something that ends up being a problem for all teams, it could be a storm of injuries and so on. So they must be able to ensure that the depth of the squad they have is very good, so that if something happens to the players they can quickly make a rotation whose strength is not much different from the main squad. Usually this is a fundamental problem for several clubs, they experience a decline because their squad suffers from many injuries.

I'm sure as a club they have anticipated this, but in practice many things are far from what was expected. Erik Ten Hag was lucky because he was not fired after failing in the Premier League, and he was still lucky because he could play in European competition through the place they got in the FA Cup. But to be honest, they still have a lot of work to complete quickly before the league starts again.
Ten Hag's success with Man United in winning the FA Cup is a delayed success, perhaps some people are proud of that, but for some fans it is not enough to just get the FA Cup, in fact Ten Hag's target is to bring Man United to the European Cup but the difficulty of his tactics is  Ten Hag has not been able to bring the Red Devils to the Europa League or Champions League zone, management still has great trust in him, that's why he has survived until now, even though he only won the FA Cup last season and finished in 8th place in the standings.  embarrassing thing for Red Devils fans.

Manchester United should be among the favorite team to win win the Europa League if they perform well with their new signings and if Ten Hag use his young players well than using all these old players he have in his squad and some overrated players.

Let’s not forget Tottenham, AS Roma, and FC Proto, they can also be among the favorites to win the Europa League because they are also not small to win the Europa League because they are also rated almost close to Manchester United.
Ten Hag must also make good use of the old players at Manchester United now, because the new players also need a little adaptation and adjustment with the other players when they are in one squad for all matches. This means that every player is useful and should not be underestimated, especially as Ten Hag himself must have great determination next season in order to win the European League trophy and also his own domestic league. However, as you said, other teams like the ones you mentioned could also be favorites to win the Europa League trophy next season because they are not weak teams either.

It is very important that the new football players and the old football players who were in the team in the previous years can play ball in harmony. That's why summer months affect the whole season. If the harmony between the players is successful, the team will also be successful. Individual skills are very important, but team play is even more important. European matches next season will be very exciting again. Every team is trying to spend these summer months productively

Many doubt that Man United will reach good achievement next season, as a result of their poor performance last season. But if we look at the changes that Ten Hag has made to date, it seems quite reasonable that the expectation that Man United will really be able to bounce back might come true. It might not be that easy in the Premier League but the European League is a fairly reasonable target to reach. As long as they don't encounter another injury crisis like last season, I think Man United will be able to find their way in the Europe League.

However, that is history, because after that, even up to now, nothing has changed and Man United is getting worse.
Sir Alex Ferguson became the coach who managed to lead Manchester United to victory during his coaching period, there is no other team in England that can currently match Manchester United's record of winning the trophy, but after Ferguson withdrew, Manchester United slowly began to decline and they continued to change coaches but no one was able to lift Manchester United performance for the better, Actually the club history can be a guideline for the coach to make Manchester United rise from the slump but on the side the club history can also be a burden for the current coach  in restore glory, currently Ten Hag is the coach of Manchester United and maybe we will not see him can make Manchester return in a positive direction because his ego , Ten Hag is actually a good coach but maybe he is still not able to restore the glory of Manchester United today.
He's a legend and it's hard to find a replacement like him, at least until now there hasn't been one. The ability to manage tactics and strategy as well as how he communicates and relates to his players are different. Yes, Man United has achieved glory with him and now it's time to return to reality.

Currently, Man United has carried out several signings to strengthen their team. At least, they should be much better this season than last season. Man United will be part of the Europa League clubs and like last season, this club should be able to become one of the favorite teams to win. However, it's not that easy, because last season they also failed to do it.

Especially if the clubs from UCL end up in the playoffs and enter the UEFA Europa League list later, the competition will be even tighter. There are also several top clubs who will initially be tough competitors for Manchester United in the 2024/2025 UEFA Europa League. Some of them include AS Roma, Tottenham, Lazio, Athletic Club, Frankfurt, and several other clubs which also cannot be underestimated. So, they must also struggle much better, especially preparing to sign top players to strengthen the squad.

The European League is a great competition that can be used as a good opportunity for all teams to stay on a better path, even though only the winner will still qualify for the Champions League, so this is what makes the competition even more interesting for us to see every season. And from the example of Atalanta we can see that a team that is not dominant enough in its own league can also qualify for the Champions League via the Europa League route if they can win here. So I also think that the Europa League is a good competition for all the big teams.
Not just big teams, but this is a good place for teams that can't compete in the Champions League, or in the domestic league they can't get a place to go to the Champions League because there are still teams that are better than them. Now the teams are competing to be the best, they are very serious about every match they play, this is the form in which they will work hard to be the best in the European League.
Many teams are finally able to enter the Champions League after becoming champions in the Europa League, Sevilla is the team that most often gets that privilege, but unfortunately again when they are in the Champions League they can't do much. So the existence of the European League is a new spirit for ordinary teams.
Winning a trophy and getting a ticket to the Champions League makes the European League interesting to participate in every season, especially if several teams act beyond expectations, such as Atalanta and Leverkusen last season. Apart from that, the European League is an alternative route for teams that have difficulty finishing in the top four standings in their respective domestic leagues, such as teams from the Premier League. Meanwhile, Sevilla are kings in the European League by becoming champions 7 times, next season they will miss out on any European competition because they were only able to finish in 14th place in the standings La Liga.

On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken next season the competition for the Europa League trophy will be easier, because the Champions League participants will no longer go to the Europa League like in previous seasons, this is the result of the change in format in the Champions League. I predict Man United will be the favorite club to win next season, this is a good opportunity for them. Currently the Europa League qualifying round is underway, and we hope that next season there will be many more surprises, so that the Europa League will also be interesting for many people to follow.

I like your optimism. Ajax, Braga, excellent teams. Still, this is the Europa League - not quite simple. Ajax had a bad season; fifth place is not what we would have expected of them. Yes, they have been looking sharp, winning friendlies, but it is like trying golf on a driving range. One completely different beast is real competition. Braga; now they are constant; I will say that. Even the finest teams, meanwhile, might fall short in the qualifying rounds. Its a pressure cooker, hence anything is possible. Let us therefore not count our chickens before they hatch. These teams will show how they manage the pressure when the games truly count.
With Ajax I would like to keep some good levels of optimism, Braga may be doing well already in the friendlies but I'm not getting much conviction just yet. Looking at last season how Ajax went from been at their worst to finishing above the sixth position is a reason to believe they are on a path of gradual progression which will mean that consistency alongside will get them something good in the Europa and this is independent of their recent friendlies performance, more like my speculative idea as I've considered the build up in their form.

So the existence of the European League is a new spirit for ordinary teams.

I will just view it like this; the Europa League competition is an avenue for teams that are not as strong and competitive like the bigger ones can compete within themselves and try to find their way through to win the tournament. Then after winning the trophy, they can now advance to the Champions League where the bigger teams are and showcase how good they are to have won the Europa League title. A team that always finds their way to the Champions league every year should have learned one or two things and would come back better and better as they get a chance to showcase in the competition again and again. The Europa League is just as tough as the champions league but sometimes it becomes easier for those teams that were relegated form the champions league group stage to win the title easier than the existing teams already in the competition.

These competitions are made precisely to ensure that glorious teams like Manchester United return to competition against the big teams. It is normal to have a long period of stoppage where it is difficult to return to the old stages but for this reason there are smaller competitions where they allow you to stay close while earning something if you win, now then there are surprises like Atalanta but let's be clear if there hadn't been the Europa League many teams wouldn't have had the chance to become great again, so I agree with you
Yeah, I mean there are what 32 teams in UCL? I guess they were talking about 36 now with new system? What are they suppose to do for all the other teams in the world? They not only have Europa, but they added conference now too, so that they could have even more competition. Obviously the earnings of these teams compared to higher level isn't the same and very little, because everyone watches UCL and very few cares about UEL or conference, but in the end those are needed too, in order to grow the game. Now we have leagues all over the world sending 5+ teams to Europe every season, some are getting fairly close to even 10, like top four to ucl, two for uel, one for conference, that makes it 7, if one of those won the cup, that means 8th goes too.

All in all I would guess that we are going to see all these teams work hard to get it anyway, and United will be one of them. They are good enough with INEOS management, and there is hope for the team and they are capable of winning it, the talent is there. Only thing they need is less injuries this season so everyone can play, and also maybe not face tough opponents after group stages at all turns, a few good lucky draws would be awesome too.

If we consider the squad quality, Man United deserves to be the favorite team to win Europa league trophy in the season 2024/2025. Have you checked the list of teams qualified to Europa league next season?





Confirmed teams and pots of Europa League 2024/25

Based on the qualified teams, I've no doubt that Man United has a good chance to win the trophy of Europa league. They actually have strong players, especially in the midfield and attacking line. However, Man United needs to strengthen their defense if they want to be stronger. I think the weakness of Man United is in the defense line. If Ten Hag can solve the problem in the defense line, they will have a high chance to reach the final and probably wins the trophy. Anyway, the new format on UCL and UEL, makes the candidates of champion in Europa league easier to predict since the early of the competition.  Cheesy

It's too early for us to conclude Manchester United chances of becoming the favorite to win the Europa League next season just based on the teams you mentioned, currently we only see 13 teams that are sure to play in the Europa League next season, while the remaining 23 other teams we don't know for sure because their are currently struggling in the qualifying round and also the Champions League, So we don't know which team will next fill the 36 team slot that will play and compete in the league phase later, Manchester United is one of the big teams that are currently in the Europa League but there is still a possibility that other big teams that fail in the Champions League will become competitors of Manchester United later, besides that we should all be able to learn from the experience of the Europa League last season, which is actually the favorite team experienced defeat in the Europa League and Atlanta, who was never the favorite, actually managed to win the Europa League at the end of the season.

Next Thursday, the European qualification starts. The teams I will follow are Ajax and Braga. I expect both teams to easily eliminate their opponents here and advance to the next round without any problems. Molde, on the other hand, has the power to eliminate Silkeborg. We may not see exactly equal matches in this qualifying round, but we can say that it is a round where matches are more likely to be with plenty of goals.

Braga and Ajax cannot be guaranteed of winning their matches even though I know that they are the favorites because no team should be underestimated in a competition like this since they didn't get here by luck.

It is when the competition gets hot and tough that is when one will know the team that can withstand pressure and still turn the game around to their favor. I don't judge the quality of a club with friendly matches because they don't count and clubs and it doesn't tell if the club is strong or not.

I doubt that Manchester United will be able to win Europa league because there are a lot of strong clubs in the league. What Ten Hag needs to focus on his a qualification ticket to UCL which he can achieve that in EPL if he finishes as top four in the league next season. For Ten Hag to achieve this, he needs to start winning all his early matches before the season gets to her second phase.

Next season will be full of surprises in Europa because I am expecting a club that no one thought of to come from behind and win the league just like what Atalanta did this past season. It is a pity that Chelsea after securing the 6th position was automatically kicked out from Europa due to the Manchester united victory in FA Cup finals.

When bring the previous historical about the Manchester united is a big team compared to their currently performance, how they been perform so far in all last but some say that Manchester united performance is good and exist better, but Manchester united performance is very poorly in the leagues both the champion league and the premier league, their performance is not enough that they count them among of the team that can able to do well in the league next season.
There are many things that Manchester United need to change next season because they themselves must be aware that last season they did not appear so impressive even though the FA Cup saved them from being able to take them to the Europa League next season. So Manchester United themselves do not have to be satisfied with what they got last season because in general there are still many things they need to improve in order to start next season very well. Especially in terms of recruiting players and also in implementing more extraordinary tactics from the start of the season.

Manchester United should not even expect the next season to come easy for them than what they faced in the last season. Their last minutes saviour of winning the FA Cup saved them to qualify in an Europeans competition this season, Chelsea would have been the one playing in the Europa League and not them. They have another chance to play in the Europa League and also improve their game in the premier league as well in order to finish in at least top four positions on the league table. That will give them a qualification to the champions league next season. If they can still finish in  first position in the Europa League, that will give them an automatic ticket to the Champions League by next season.

Anything is possible next season because Manchester United is signing new players to the club, and I am confident they will do their best next season to win the title, even if it is not in the Premier League, because they lack crucial players who can help them perform well and win the tournament. Erik Tag Hag will do anything and focus well in the Europa League because it is the only competition they can play and get the opportunity to qualify to the Champions League next season, Manchester United focus very well in that FA Cup and Erik Tag Hag coach them very well, and they get the chance to defeat Manchester City in the final, I think if he didn't win the match i think he should be sack already is a trophy he won, which helped him stay with the club and helped the club qualify for the Europa League, where he competed against other strong clubs. Let's see who dominates the competition in the group stage next season, but I believe Manchester United and Chelsea will perform well in the Europa League, because I noticed that they improved before the season ended, and they can continue to do so next season, making the fans happy and proud of their clubs.

Ajax and Braga and two traditional clubs when it comes to European competitions so I understand why many football fans wants to see the two clubs play in Europe's second tier competition next season since they couldn't finish in a position that's guarantees the UEFA Champions League competition. Ajax last season had one of their worst campaigns in recent years but considering how they've been performing in their preseason games, it's obvious that they've improved and are ready to fight for their place in the UEFA Europa League competition come next season. Braga in the other hand will have a better advantage over their play-off opponents because of how experienced the club is when it comes to European competitions so I expect both Ajax and Braga to make it to the finals of the competition

The European League is a great competition that can be used as a good opportunity for all teams to stay on a better path, even though only the winner will still qualify for the Champions League, so this is what makes the competition even more interesting for us to see every season. And from the example of Atalanta we can see that a team that is not dominant enough in its own league can also qualify for the Champions League via the Europa League route if they can win here. So I also think that the Europa League is a good competition for all the big teams.
Not just big teams, but this is a good place for teams that can't compete in the Champions League, or in the domestic league they can't get a place to go to the Champions League because there are still teams that are better than them. Now the teams are competing to be the best, they are very serious about every match they play, this is the form in which they will work hard to be the best in the European League.
Many teams are finally able to enter the Champions League after becoming champions in the Europa League, Sevilla is the team that most often gets that privilege, but unfortunately again when they are in the Champions League they can't do much. So the existence of the European League is a new spirit for ordinary teams.
