Opinion: Can Man United and Mourinho Prove Their European Mettle?

This stage of the competition will be a real test for English clubs. Manchester United’s inconsistency this season makes their tie against Real Sociedad tricky, especially considering how disciplined the Spanish side is. Meanwhile, Mourinho's European pedigree could be key for Fenerbahçe, but Rangers won’t be pushovers.

With top teams like Roma, Tottenham, and Lazio still in the mix, the Europa League is shaping up to be as competitive as ever. Could this be Mourinho’s chance to add another European title to his collection? Can United rise above their struggles and go all the way?
