Manchester United to Face Mourinho's Fenerbahce in New Europa League Format

Posted : 30 August 2024

Manchester United will face a notable challenge in the new Europa League format, including a trip to Istanbul to play Fenerbahce, now managed by José Mourinho. This clash will be a reunion for Mourinho and United, who won the Europa League under his management in 2017. Fenerbahce, having been eliminated from the Champions League earlier this season, will provide a tough test for the Old Trafford side.

 

In addition to their fixture against Fenerbahce, United will host 2022 Europa League runners-up Rangers and travel to Portugal to take on Porto, another club previously managed by Mourinho. These matches will be crucial for United as they aim to advance through the revamped league phase of the competition.

 

Tottenham Hotspur, the other English team in the Europa League, will also face Rangers, but their match will be played away from home. Spurs, under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, will also play against Roma at home and visit Galatasaray in Istanbul, adding to the challenge of their group stage fixtures.

 

This season's Europa League has adopted a new format, mirroring changes made to the Champions League. The competition now includes 36 teams divided into four pots, with each team playing eight matches—against two teams from each pot, both home and away. The top eight teams from the league phase will progress directly to the last 16, while teams finishing from ninth to 24th will enter a play-off to secure the remaining last-16 spots. The bottom 12 teams will be eliminated with no relegation to the Conference League or promotion from the Champions League.
