I find it hard to be too negative and worried about the EL, it's easy to be level headed and realistic about a secondary competition where of course there's pressure, but its nothing like the league or a knockout game in the CL. We're the best team in it I think.

Seems like your not the only one, someone was bashing ole on reddit for losing the first leg in the last minutes
It'll be a big disappointment if we lose despite being the best team remaining. Top 4 is more or less sewn up barring a catastrophic drop in form and the FA Cup is arguably an inferior trophy to the Europa League, not forgetting all the big guns are still in it.Historically when we play the 2nd leg at the San Siro, don't we normally struggle?It would be pretty embarrassing not to make it far in this competition with the likes of Chelsea making the quarters in CL.
Very embarrassing.
Wouldn't we be the only English team knocked out of either competition?
And we have played in both.Seems like your not the only one, someone was bashing ole on reddit for losing the first leg in the last minutes
In a way we are losing. Just on away goals.Got a feeling we're gonna put a brilliant performance in tonight and the game surprisingly comfortably.
Rashford's gonna grab a brace too.
It’s a hard job but I’m thick skinned.
United didn't make it far in this competition any year under Ferguson or LVG.
Leicester 1 point behind United in Premier league were knocked out of the Europa league by Slavia Prague in the last round and they drew the 1st leg away 0-0. Rangers could knock out Slavia Prague tonight.I mean people were ok with us getting knocked in semi vs City, why stop there.
Why is nine written in Spanish?
We need a trophy now more than ever though. Our longest drought post FergusonIbra is going to have a great time against Maguire and Lindelof.
Unless Maguire has a real stinker, I can see him being quite comfortable against Zlatan.
I guess we'll see. I expect Ibra to knock them about like ten pins. They can't match his strength and won't keep up with his runs in the box. Should be interesting!
We will see. I doubt Lindelof and Maguire will have problems with Zlatan's runs in the box. He is no Mbappe or Haaland. In fact he is old and not quite fast. As for matching his physicality, slabhead should have no problems. We are not talking about Evans here.Zlatan will boss our defence like he does to everyone! (does it count as a reverse jinx if I use white text?)
One of the Italian lads at work is a big Milan fan and he says Ibrah can only play for 30 minutes tonight.
Rumours that Castillejo will start up front, which is a huge blow for them.Don't rile up the Zlatan...Weird one though. Assuming Castillejo starts, it allows them to keep mobility and a high press, which caused us a proper shit start in the first leg. A 39 year old Zlatan is obviously better at basically every facet of football, but it forces them to play a very different type of football uptop.If I see Ole smiling at this game I will lose it
I think it’s going to be a nervy score draw that’ll see us through
Indeed. You have a lot of things to worry about when facing Zlatan, but pace in behind isn't one of them - I expect we'd have pushed the defensive block up, as we did vs Giroud at the Bridge.If I see Ole smiling at this game I will lose it
Which fecking kit do we wear tonight? Has to be the green/black/brown whatever one but I'm not 100% sure. Can't be our home kit and the zebra outfit seems like it would clash with ACs home kit, at least at the shorts level.
Zebra kit with black shorts?If I see Ole smiling at this game I will lose it
So embarrassing when he smiles like a meek PE teacher.
Why would he have a great time v Maguire ? Maguire is good in the air and Zlatan isn’t going to be looking for balls over the top...So embarrassing when he smiles like a meek PE teacher.
Personally I'm not ok with anything less than a heated screaming match with the ref while the players are preparing to take kickoff.I actually love our away kits, don't care which one it is. Just choose the one that scores the goals.. 2 goals away should do it.Pogba not starting. Well that's a big blow.
Our midfield was a joke last week.
McFred need to have the best game of their lives. We can't get knocked outSo embarrassing when he smiles like a meek PE teacher.
Oh dear.
Yeah I just don't know which one doesn't clash with ACs home kit.
Says who? I'm not surprised, but it is indeed a big blow.Hernandez vs Bissaka will be an interesting battle. Hernandez might be the best french LB we have- Status
