Manchester United has been drawn in Group E of the UEFA Europa League for the 2023-24 season. The Red Devils will face a slightly tough challenge as they navigate a group that includes Rangers, Porto, PAOK, Fenerbahce, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen, FC Twente, and FCSB.
New Europa League format
The Europa League’s new format, similar to the Champions League, features a league phase instead of a traditional group stage. The top eight teams from this phase will advance directly to the round of 16, while teams ranked 9th to 16th will play two-legged play-off matches to secure their place in the knockout stage.
Manchester United Europa League fixtures
One of the most intriguing matchups for United will be their away fixture against Fenerbahce, managed by former Red Devils boss José Mourinho. Mourinho led United to Europa League glory in 2017, defeating Ajax Amsterdam in the final. The clash between Mourinho’s current side and his former club promises to be a highly anticipated encounter at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul.
Manchester United will be eager to make a strong impression in the Europa League. While the Premier League title looks unlikely, United fans would be behind the team for some European glory.
