Manchester United Drawn in New Europa League

Manchester United has drawn a challenging group in the revamped Europa League, facing Fenerbahce, now coached by former manager Jose Mourinho, as well as 2022 runners-up Rangers and Porto. The new format of the tournament features a single league table of 36 teams, where each club will play eight matches, with the top eight advancing directly to the last 16. This season marks a significant change, as teams finishing ninth to 24th will enter a playoff round, and no teams will drop down from the Champions League or down to the Conference League. Tottenham Hotspur will also compete against Rangers and face tough matches against Roma and Galatasaray. Matches will take place from the end of August through January, with the draw generating much anticipation for encounters between familiar faces and clubs with rich histories. Both Manchester United and Tottenham will look to navigate the new structure effectively to progress in the competition.
