Mourinho expresses satisfaction with Europa League Pairings

Europa League winners receive an automatic spot in the Champions League group stage and Herrera believes that the tournament's reputation has benefited as a result. Tonny Vilhena, a player once linked to United will be one to watch, he made 25 appearances last season, scoring five goals and already has one goal in three appearances this season.

The chance to host some of the world's greatest footballers - the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Phil Jones - will be a truly special occasion for the lesser-known clubs United encounter on their road to Europa League glory this season.

"I know people were wondering about drawing Manchester United but that's not a game I would have particularly wanted personally", Kenny told the Irish Examiner.

Jose Mourinho's side will also meet Dutch giant Feyenoord and Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine in Group A.

They beat Monaco at home in their Champions League play-off but ultimately lost out to the Ligue 1 side.

'I think while he's here he'll definitely win the league for Manchester United.

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has admitted that he is happy with his squad and will not bring in new players before the end of the transfer window. This season they were rewarded with a spot in the Europa group stage, but that wasn't the case last summer.

"I think I would have been embarrassed playing in Lansdowne Road with more people there supporting an English team than ourselves".
