After seeing the game between Manchester city and Manchester United today I begin to almost nurse a doubt about their Europa performance this season if they are going to be really awesome and even brilliant enough to be lucky with the trophy, teams like Roma, and other regular Europa teams who will be participating this season and are very willing to win the trophies will definitely not give Manchester United a chance of this will be their performance.
With no much doubt, I think Roma will even be a challenge to Manchester United, I know city isn't a small team but at some point even their top players where substituted yet Manchester United failed at getting it right. At this point it becomes very necessary Manchester United works hard towards every form of improvement without hesitation.
I like this, if Roma is the MU's challenge then it seems to me that it is something very good, I want to see a connected MU, against Man City they did not do bad, knowing that what they played was only a pre-season game, but enough to realize that things were very evident at the time of playing, but as I said, in these competitions like the Europa League, the level increases to great levels, they want to be the best, they want to earn that place in the UCL by being first, that is why this Europa League fascinates me, I want to see Roma's level at the top.
Manchester United did not perform badly in the warm-up match against Manchester City, it cannot be said how Manchester United will perform in the Europa League. There is a lot of difference between a warm-up match and a main stage match.
In the Premier League we see that each team gets a chance to play 38 matches but in the European League there is no such system. Manchester United will have less number of matches to play in Europa League and if they do not get good points from this less number of matches they will not be able to go to the next round. Despite getting through the group stage, Manchester United could be defeated by the lesser teams in the second round if they can't maintain their offensive performance as well as their defense.
However, we have high expectations for Manchester United in this season of the European League. If this team performs as planned, they have the potential to do well.
