Day -386 Worldup2018
Well done Manchester United. A Europa League win, a win for all of Manchester. And I don't think anybody will begrudge them the win this week.
On a footballing note it is somewhat ironic that Man. United qualified for the Europa League after a disappointing season last year. Qualification was almost a punishment. After another fairly mediocre domestic season this year the highlight is winning the competition they, and their manager, didn't want to be in. And now, after being derided for the somewhat abysmal form this year, they are in the Champions League group stage next season. Liverpool, who are going on about progress, won absolutely nothing this season and celebrated qualifying for the Champions League play-offs, with no guarantee of an easy ride into the group stage. Happier manager today?
