They’re not only going to lose tomorrow,they will be humiliated tomorrow, believe it or not”, Chelsea legend Didier Drogba reveals His prediction for Man united vs Twente game tomorrow. Why can’t he just leave us alone and mind his fallen Stamford bridge🙀😱🙀

Owen Hargreaves remains optimistic about Manchester United’s potential to secure a Europa League title this season under Erik ten Hag’s leadership. After finishing eighth in the Premier League and exiting the Champions League early last season, United finds itself competing in Europe’s second-tier competition once again.

 

United has a solid track record in the Europa League, having lifted the trophy in 2017 under José Mourinho. However, their most recent run ended in disappointment, with a quarter-final defeat to Sevilla two years ago.

 

This season’s Premier League campaign has been less than ideal, with only two wins in the first five games. Due to these struggles, United is focusing on cup competitions as a viable route to success. Hargreaves believes Ten Hag is eager to add another European title to his achievements, having already won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since joining the club.

 

Speaking with *Metro.co.uk*, Hargreaves addressed United’s current situation, explaining that competing in the Champions League exposes the team’s shortcomings against stronger opponents. He is, however, more confident about their chances in the Europa League, believing the squad has the quality to win. A victory in this tournament, he suggested, could also solidify Ten Hag’s standing at the club.

 

Drawing comparisons with Arsenal’s previous struggles against Bayern Munich, Hargreaves acknowledged that difficult losses can affect a team’s morale. Nonetheless, he views United as one of the leading contenders for the Europa League title this season.

 

Hargreaves also touched on United’s inconsistent start to the season, despite notable summer signings. He stressed that regaining form is critical, and the Europa League offers the team an opportunity to secure success. While competing in the Champions League remains the ultimate objective, excelling in a tournament where they have a higher chance of winning might be more beneficial at this point.

 

Looking ahead, young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is expected to make his Europa League debut against Twente on Wednesday. Despite spending time with England’s Euro 2024 squad over the summer, Mainoo is set to play a key role in United’s campaign. Hargreaves is also optimistic about Manuel Ugarte’s arrival, believing the new signing will bolster the midfield and support Mainoo’s development.

 

Highlighting Mainoo’s calmness and control, Hargreaves emphasized the need for balance in the midfield. While United has individual talent, he pointed out the importance of improving team dynamics, especially in terms of regaining possession. He expressed frustration that, despite promising new additions, the team’s performances have yet to meet expectations.

 

Hargreaves sees Ugarte as a valuable asset, praising his pressing ability and energy in midfield. He also stressed the importance of team defense, starting with the attackers. Overall, Hargreaves is hopeful that, with tactical adjustments and better team cohesion, Manchester United can mount a strong challenge for the Europa League title this season.
