‘They’re not only going to lose tomorrow,they will be humiliated tomorrow, believe it or not”, Chelsea legend Didier Drogba reveals His prediction for Man united vs Twente game tomorrow.

Owen Hargreaves remains hopeful about Manchester United’s chances of securing silverware in this season’s Europa League under Erik ten Hag. Despite an underwhelming eighth-place finish in the Premier League and a lack of progress in last season’s Champions League, United is back competing in Europe’s second-tier competition.

The Red Devils have previously thrived in the Europa League, notably winning the trophy in 2017 under José Mourinho. However, their last run in the tournament ended in disappointment when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Sevilla two seasons ago.

United’s current season has not started well, with just two wins from their first five Premier League games. This has led the team to view cup competitions as a key focus for success. Hargreaves believes Ten Hag is determined to secure another European title, which would be his third since joining the club, having already won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Hargreaves assessed United’s position, explaining, “When you’re in the Champions League and not at the same level as other top teams, you get exposed quickly.” Reflecting on last season’s Champions League disappointment, Hargreaves is more optimistic about their chances in the Europa League, believing United has the talent to win the competition. He also noted that such a victory could strengthen Ten Hag’s position at the club.

Drawing a comparison to Arsenal’s struggles against Bayern Munich in the past, Hargreaves acknowledged that tough defeats can impact a team’s confidence. However, he sees United as strong contenders for the Europa League title this season.

Hargreaves also spoke about United’s inconsistent start to the campaign, despite having made some high-profile signings during the summer transfer window. He emphasized the need for the team to regain momentum and suggested the Europa League presents a valuable opportunity for the players. While United’s ambition is to compete in the Champions League, Hargreaves believes playing in a competition where they can realistically succeed may be more beneficial at this stage.

Looking ahead, young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is expected to make his Europa League debut against Twente on Wednesday. Despite still adjusting after a long summer spent with England’s Euro 2024 squad, Hargreaves is confident that the arrival of Manuel Ugarte will bolster the midfield and assist in Mainoo’s development.

Praising Mainoo’s composure on the ball, Hargreaves stressed the importance of balance in midfield. While United has no shortage of talented players, he emphasized the need for improved teamwork, especially when it comes to recovering possession. He noted that this was a challenge last season and expressed disappointment that the early signs of this season haven’t lived up to expectations, despite promising signings.

Hargreaves is optimistic about Ugarte’s ability to lift United’s midfield, describing him as a dynamic player with strong pressing abilities. He also highlighted the significance of collective defending, starting from the attacking players. In summary, Hargreaves remains hopeful that with the right tactical tweaks and a stronger team focus, Manchester United can make a serious push for the Europa League title this season.
