Tottenham manager, Jose Mourinho has come out to say that Manchester United are now one of the top favourites to win the Europa League.
He recently revealed that the MUFC must automatically be considered as one of the frontrunners to lift the Europa League trophy after narrowly eluding UCL qualification.
According to him, any team that drops from the UCL is strong and normally don’t belong to the level of the Europa League, so they must be feared.
He added that Ndombele is still not completely recovered from his injury, so he would not be available for Spurs’ UEL game.
His words, “Manchester United become one of the top favourites to win the competition,”
“The teams that drop from the Champions League are strong and normally don’t belong to the level of the Europa League.
“United are one of the top teams. The group was very hard with Paris Saint-Germain and Leipzig. We knew it was not going to be easy for any of them.”
On Aurier and Ndombele, “We had doubts with many problems. Hugo [Lloris] and then Serge Aurier. Sergio [Reguilon] was a doubt.
“Serge will miss the game yes, because he had that problem before Arsenal.
“Ndombele is still not completely recovered, he had a reaction from the game. Pierre, no problems, it is just the fact that he is playing every match.”
“He played last week three matches of 90 minutes, played Thursday in Austria and he played against Arsenal again.
“Now is his time, because we always try to give a rest to one or another player.
“Tanguy was a doubt until the last minute before Arsenal, now it is three or four days after. He is OK.”
