Manchester United start their Europa campaign after finishing third in the Champions League group stages this Thursday against Midtjylland. With hopes of finishing in top four minimal after the weekend defeat at Sunderland, Europa League presents an easier way to qualify for the Champions League by winning the competition. Manchester United need to take this tournament seriously even though the chances of winning it with the likes of Napoli, Dortmund in the cup is very slim.
Memphis Depay should ideally be given a chance as he has not started for quite sometime now. Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata will be expected to continue their partnership. Ander Herrera is one more player who might get a run out as Van Gaal attempts to salvage this season. Most of the people think that Van Gaal is done at Old Trafford and it is only a matter of time when Woodward will sack him or Van Gaal himself will resign. Manchester United are in a critical juncture at this moment and the decisions they make now will shape the club’s future.
