Manchester United Possible Opponents In The Europa Knockouts

This season’s Europa League might turn out to be the most entertaining edition of the competition especially with iconic names that were usually associated with UCL football coming into the conversation, making things a lot more exciting for Manchester United.

After gaining qualification into the next round of games in the Europe’s second tier club competition, Manchester United could be set to clash with one of these Europe’s big wigs in the Europa league.

Erik ten Hag’s men qualified for the round of 32 stages on Thursday night, thanks to a 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol.

Diogo Dalot, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo were the men to deal the blow to the Turkish side as they scored to ensure Manchester United took maximum points.

The win took the Red Devils to 12 points, three below Group E leaders Real Sociedad.

Second-placed teams in the Europa League will go to the Round of 32 rather than the last 16.

This implies that United, who is now in second position, would likely face one of the third-place Champions League teams, which already includes European powerhouses Juventus, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid.

Next week, United must defeat Sociedad by three goals or more in order to take first place in the group.

It will be however poetic should Manchester United be drawn with Eredivisie club, Ajax in the round of 32 as it would mean a reunion for current manager, Erik ten Hag with former club, as well as current Manchester United players, Malacia and Anthony.

The game itself would carry lots of attention as the drums beat for the poets looking forward to such fixture. But at the moment, United fans are hoping for a draw against Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong.

Justice, Revenge will be the narratives in a game with such magnitude.
