The roller coaster ride continues for Manchester United, and they are about to have another match when they welcome Rangers in the UEFA Europa League tomorrow at Old Trafford. The Red Devils looked stable following their brilliant draw against Liverpool and eliminating Arsenal from the FA Cup. But they suffered another defeat in their most recent match in the English Premier League, losing against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Man United boss Ruben Amorim is optimistic about the match against Rangers tomorrow. He said, “The most important thing is to think we can improve right away in the next match and then it is like that! Football can change like that and we can have a lot of ideas and thinking that things could get worse for that reason and another reason but imagine tomorrow we do not suffer a goal in the beginning and we score, we play well and then we go to Fulham and we can win it. That will change and even the environment here, everything.”
However, Man United have won their last three consecutive games in the Europa League and stand in 7th, while Rangers are just one point behind the Red Devils, standing in 8th. Therefore, this game will be a great pleasure to look at.
