OTHER Manchester United coach José Mourinho wants to win the Europa League. Manchester will be Anderlecht's next opponent in the quarter finals of the tournament. "Winning the Europa League will grant us direct access to the Champions League", he says. The Macunians are currently ranked fifth in the Premier League. The fourth needs to play a qualification round for the Champions League.

The coach did not have a good start in Manchester and wants to make up by winning a European trophy. The club bought new players for many millions, but cannot win the title in England anymore. "But a European cup also means prestige", he stated. 

Though it remains to be seen whether Mourinho stays with his statement. Manchester have four points less than Liverpool, but played two games less. The Premier League is more lucrative than the Europa League and also the third place is still within reach for United. And that third place, is currently being occupied by ... Manchester City, their biggest rivals.
