While on weekends they have usually been full of chaos and possible misery, the mid -week departures of Manchester United offered moments of serenity to Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils have won all their meetings Europa League with their new Portuguese manager at the helm, although they were forced to hit late against Rangers last week.
After Cyril Dessers surpassed Harry Maguire and ended wonderfully to level the procedures, Patron Bruno Fernandes produced the merchandise in time of stoppage to seal a 2-1 victory on the side of Amorim. At a glance, the United had ventured to the fourth from the ninth of the league table.
As a result, United is in a strong position to end in the top eight and, therefore, classify in the 16 round. The optter supercomputer Suggests that they have 89.8% likely to finish eight, but there is still work to be done against the FCSB in Romania on Thursday night.
Let’s look at a victory, a draw and a defeat in the United States in Bucharest, would affect their chances of describing 16.
MAN UTD goes to this facility with a little impulse after Lisandro MartÃnez’s deviated goal helped them win 1-0 over Fulham over the weekend.
If they can take advantage of their return wins to Bucharest and claim the victory again, United will have a place in the 16 round, as they are in fourth place on the table. There would also be scope for them to climb the table and end up in the first two places.
While Lazio is in an urgent position at the summit, Eintracht Frankfurt and Athletic Club are just a point ahead. Frankfurt travels to Rome on the 8th, while Athletic houses one side of Viktoria Plzen with the aim of ensuring an end of eight.
Before winning Viktoria Plzen under Amorim, United went away with Porto and Fenerbahce away from home in this competition.
A draw is completely plausible to Bucharest with FCSB still to taste the defeat at home in the league phase. Although a paralyzation would leave the United States at a certain risk, they are likely to be released in the 16th round with this result.
Eighth place FCSB would remain behind, and only two teams outside the top eight – Galatasaray and Bodo/Glimt – could match their 16 -point transport. The gala has a complicated game in Ajax, while Bodo/Glimt is expected to go well from home.
If the United Straw will only be lost in the 16 round if the three teams immediately below them at the table – Lyon, Tottenham and Anderlecht – win, as well as Galatasaray. Bodo/Glimt should win two or more targets to usurp the red devils.
Now, this is a situation that United will want to avoid. However, they still have a decent chance to make the top eight, even if they lose FCSB.
In order for the Red Devils to move to the 16 round despite losing Thursday, they are likely to need at least three of these teams to slip: Lyon, Tottenham, Anderlecht, Galatasaray, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen and Olympiacos.
Plzen and Olympiacos would be at a point level with United if they win and the red devils lose. The couple is two goals back in the difference of goal.
If United falls out of the first eight places, they will be forced to compete in the Play-off of the round: a two-legged topic where the seeded teams (those that finish the ninth and 16) 17 and 24). The winners of these ties will join the top eight of the league phase in Europe League Round of 16.
