Europa League Group Stage

Here we come.

Only silver lining to a dismal season. Starting in the third qualifying round would have been disruptive to our preparations for the coming season.

We’ll be top seeds so hopefully we can get a nice, easy group without much travelling, will give us a good opportunity to blood some of the youngsters into the squad.

If at least four of our youngsters aren't playing in this comp then it's a waste of time.

Henderson. Greenwood, Gomes, Chong, Tuanzebe, Levitt and Garner should all be given chances in the competition. In fact I'd go as far as to say Henderson, Tuanzebe, Greenwood and Gomes should start every game.
------------

We overrate our youngsters every year. Yet the under 23s got relegated, then fell further. Look beyond the hype of our club. Having said that, Greenwood looks like he could be exceptional. Tuanzebe must be better than half our defenders right now too. As for the rest, I'll be surprised if you see them at United in 3 year's time

Most of those have only just come into the u23’s. The talent is certainly there with the players he named. But talent alone is not enough, so we’ll see how things developed for them in the coming years, as they are held in very high regard by the club.

The Europa isn’t taken any more serious in Europe than in England. Liverpool were in the final a few years ago. We won it, Arsenal reached the semis last year and this year both them and Chelsea are in the final. It’s very much taken seriously in England due to the difficulty of getting top four here.

That wouldn’t have got us top four. And doesn’t contradict the overall point, top four is very competitive in this league.

...

We would have finished fifth had we had beaten Huddersfield and Cardiff.

Arithmetic, difficult?

All you had to do was beat us and you win the title.

Difficult?

Ah you mean you could have done yourself a favour in drawing v city followed by winning v Huddersfield and Cardiff..

Guess it is better for you lot to play in the Europa league, more your level. So you have a chance of winning.

Finished way off the pace in the league for a few years now.

Set to continue with Ole at the wheel

Is that the best you could come up with?

Your crap digs at United are still irrelevant to my point anyway.

There’s too many digs to be had. It’s the season you’ve had of course.

There are, but yours are lacking any wit, substance or coherence. And again, completely irrelevant to the initial point you tried to question.
