Although the weekends were usually full of chaos and possible misery, the Manchester United trips in the middle of the week offered Ruben Amorim moments of serenity.
The Red Devils won in all their Europa League meetings with their new Portuguese manager at the helm, although they were forced to hit Rangers late last week.
After Cyril Dessers surpassed Harry Maguire and ended perfectly with it, skipper Bruno Fernandes produced goods at a time of stops to seal a 2-1 victory for Amorim’s side. In the blink of an eye, United got to the fourth from the ninth table of the league phases.
As a result, United is in a strong position to finish in the top eight and so qualifies in the 16th round. Opta -ovo supercomputer He suggests that they have an 89.8% chance for the top eight endings, but he still has to work against FCSB in Romania on Thursday night.
Let’s see how United win, draw and defeat in Bucharest will affect their chances of 16. qualifications.
Man UTD embarked on this a little swing with a little momentum after the rejected goal of Lisandar Martinez helped them to win 1-0 over Fulham during the weekend of victory.
If I can upgrade to the Bucharest win and seek the victory again, United will be a secure place in the 16th round, since they sit fourth place at the table. It would also be scope to climb the table and potentially end up in the first two.
While they were in a illegal position on the summit, Eintracht Frankfurt and Atletic Club are just a point ahead. Frankfurt travels to Roma in Dan 8, while the athletic host Viktoria Plzen is a side with the aim of securing a superb finish.
Before defeating Viktoria Plzen under Amorim, United drew Porto and Fenerbahce away from home in this competition.
The draw is completely convincing with the FCSB in Bucharest, which should have a defeat at home in the league phase. While the deadlock would leave United at a risk, they would probably be inserted in the 16th round with this result.
The eighth placed FCSB would remain behind them, and only two teams beyond the top eight – Galatasaray and Bodo/Glimt – could match their path of 16 points. Gala has a tickling game in Ajax, while it will be expected that the Bodo/Glimt scoring will win beautifully from the house.
If United pulls out, they will only miss the 16th round if three teams just below them in the table – Lyon, Tottenham and Anderlecht – victory, as well as Galatasaray. Boda/gllimt should win for two or more goals to usur the red devils.
This is a situation that United will want to avoid. However, they still have a decent chance to make the first eight, even if they lose to FCSB.
In order for the Red Devils to progress in the 16th round despite the loss on Thursday, they will probably need at least three of these teams to ride: Lyon, Tottenham, Anderlecht, Galatasaray, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen and Olympiacos.
Plzen and Olympiacos would be at a point with United if they both win and the red devils lose. The couple is two goals behind the goal -a difference.
If United falls out of the top eight, they will be forced to compete in play-offs with a two-foot-out-of-nail-nail in which the seeds of the team (those who end between ninth and 16th) take over not sitting (those who end between 17 and 24 .). The winners of these links will join the first eight from the league phase in Europa League Color 16.
