The Europa League Thread

[harv]

And Young injured now too. You get one back and two more get crocked. Unbelievable 

Looks like a hamstring.

[harv]

0-1 at full-time and a good result for United. Would have been 2 or 3 if it wasn't for their keeper. Not over yet but a win and an away goal puts us in the driving seat for the next leg next week.

[iaskthequestions]

Celta Vigo all over United like a rash in early stages. Need to keep a clean sheet United. Need to win this computer for CL footie next season seeing as they have no chance of top 4. Need to do their normal tactic of boring teams to death.

[harv]

We're playing the same line up as last week.

Celta Vigo looking dangerous so far.

[harv]

Top four hasn't been decided yet. It could go down to the wire.

[harv]

A great cross from Rashford and Fellaini puts United a goal ahead. That's Celta Vigo needing 2 goals to get to the Final. Should be game over unless we do something REALLY stupid

[harv]

This game isn't doing my nerves a lot of good lmfao 

[harv]

Aw bollocks 1-1 now. Another goal and they're through

[harv]

A player from each side off with a straight red. Valencia should have gone too. That's Bailly out of the Final. Fucking idiot 

[harv]

And 6 minutes injury time!!!

[harv]

Well that's us through. Celta Vigo deserved to win that I think but I'm not going to complain lol

So that's United vs Ajax in the Final in 13 days. Bailly being suspended is going to be a big loss but as long as Smalling and Jones both stay fit it won't be too much of a problem.

I think Valencia might get a post match ban on video evidence  though, he should have gone too.

Another home draw, and a lucky escape against a mid-table la liga side lol.  Glad you're pleased what the most expensive squad in the world is capable of though harv.

[harv]

That mid-table La Liga side have been playing weakened sides for their league matches for a few weeks to prepare for their Europa League games. They've also beaten Real Madras and Barcelona.

If we win the Europa League then we've won 3 trophies during a 4 year transition period after losing Fergus. I'm certainly happy with that tbh when you consider the unlucky injuries we've had to deal with during that time.

[harv]

I'm quite surprised that the Final is going ahead tomorrow night after the terrorist atrocity in Manchester yesterday. Hopefully security over there is going to be top-notch and nothing awful happens. I can't imagine yesterdays events NOT affecting our players though.

[harv]

Here's the side for United:

Romero

Valencia Smalling Blind Darmian

Herrera Fellaini Pogba

Mata Rashford Micki

Bench: De Gea, Jones, Roonster, Martial, Lingard, Carrick, Fosu-Mensah

Am surprised that Mata got in ahead of Lingard or Martial.
