Manager opposed to teams dropping from Champions League‘I don’t think we should be afraid of playing any team’José Mourinho has described his former club
Manchester United as one of the favourites to win the Europa League, although he maintained that his
Tottenham team would fear no one in the knockout rounds.
United enter the last 32 of the competition having finished third in their
Champions League group after Tuesday’s 3-2 defeat at RB Leipzig – something Mourinho has long opposed on sporting grounds. To him, Champions League failure ought not to be rewarded with a shot at the Europa League.
