The Tottenham boss says the Red Devils have a great chance of winning the second-tier competition after being knocked out of the Champions League
Spurs head coach Mourinho, who took in a spell at Old Trafford between 2016 and 2018, thinks United must automatically be considered as one of the frontrunners to lift the Europa League trophy after narrowly failing to get out of an all-star Champions League group.
“Manchester United become one of the top favourites to win the competition,” the Portuguese told a press conference on Wednesday.
“The teams that drop from the Champions League are strong and normally don’t belong to the level of the Europa League.
“United are one of the top teams. The group was very hard with Paris Saint-Germain and Leipzig. We knew it was not going to be easy for any of them.”
