The crossroads of Europa League between Fenerbahce and the Manchester United brought to mind a Jose Mourinho an old story never forgotten. The coach of the Turkish club was sitting on the Red Devils bench in 2017-2018. Then Guardiola’s City won the Premier League with 19 points on United. Now the Special One returns to bite his former city rivals. The topic is naturally the trial for violation of financial fair play which could cost City even retroactive penalties. “I think we still have a chance to win that championship because if they punish Manchester City with penalty points maybe we win that championship and then they will have to pay me the bonus and give me the medal.”
“United e Tottenham favorite per l’Europa League”
“If I had to say now who the two main candidates are to win the Europa League,” Mou added, “I think it’s easy, Manchester United and Tottenham.” However, Fenerbahce have 4 points from their first two matches of the competition, while United have been held to two draws. Even though they are only 12th in the Premier League, United are “a better team than the results show” according to Mourinho. “I don’t see any reason why Manchester United should be afraid of Fenerbahce, but I think they know it’s not an easy game for them,” he said. “If they come thinking it will be easy, that’s the wrong approach and I don’t think it will be that. They know the match can be difficult for them,” he added. Mourinho was signed by Fenerbahce in June in a bid to end a 10-year wait for the Turkish league. He left Roma in January.
