Would prefer to avoid Sevilla and Juve. I think Roma would be nice.
Who do we want next? | Europa League QF draw
- Thread starter Djemba-Djemba
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Just like the competition itself.

Union Saint-Gilloise look the easiest followed by Feyenoord, feel we're destined to meet Pogba and Juve at some point
Fenerbahce would be hilarious, especially if Wout scores against them
I know who ETH wouldn’t mind facing
Trigger Warning: Heh

Don't want Juve/Roma/Sevilla.
Don't want Roma. Mourinho has huge experience in knockout games and don't think it'll be easy at all. Juve and Sevilla aren't ideal either. Guess Leverkusen or Union would be okay.
They got knocked out.
USG and Feyenoord look the standouts in terms of we really should be beating them...
I'd fancy us against any of them in truth but if I was to handpick I'd take one of them.

Would like to avoid Roma and Leverkusen, could be tricky games. Would even prefer Sevilla to Leverkusen honestly. A team strong in transitions with bags of pace in a decent run of form won't be the easiest game
I hope we get Juve or Roma. Two stadiums I want to go to and having missed Barca away I want to go to a big Euro away this season.
I’d actually quite like Juve.
As usual, I just want the easiest route. Even more so with our packed fixture schedule this year.
So I'd probably prefer Union SG, Feyenoord or Sporting Lisbon. None of those are 'easy' - but you won't get that at the QF stage, and I'd prefer to avoid the likes of Juventus, Roma and Sevilla.

Why don't we ever get to see smiley Ten Hag?
Honestly don’t care who we get next. If we can’t beat every one of the frankly mid-tier teams left in the tournament then I’d rather us go out in the quarters instead of losing in the final again.
So bring on the best team next, whether that’s Juve, Roma, Sevilla or whoever. We’re probably more likely to trip up against a weaker team to be honest, because we tend to get very casual when we’re heavy favourites to win.

Avoid Roma, Juve and Sevilla. Not too bothered by any of the rest. Would have us as favourites against any in all honesty.
Hey at least his eyes aren't turning yellow and lifeless like Moyes at this time in his season with usWhy don't we ever get to see smiley Ten Hag?
Weakest sevilla team in ages but couldn't stand more Spanish opposition. Union maybe, let the other big teams draw eachother
Feyenoord, with Leverkusen a close second.
Avoid Roma and Sevilla

Union, Sporting or Feyenoord.
I expect Roma or Juve though….

Would love a match against Leverkusen. Some exciting young talents on show and could give the management a good look at them (Diaby, Wirtz obviously but also Hincapie and Palacios).
Not to mention I think we would progress and the matches would be really exciting, high scoring I'm sure.

I’m going to go and say it doesn’t matter even if we faced Arsenal in the quarter finals. I think they’d have shit themselves at the prospect of having to deal with us in a two legged tie amongst having to keep City off their backs. I think we’d have taken them over two legs in April where they’ve got a nightmare league schedule anyway.
We should beat any of them. We've beaten Barca already and they're better than every team left.
If you're going to choose one, it obviously has to be Union Saint-Gilloise.

True. The man looked like a walking corpse
United - Union
Sporting - Feyenoord
In the same side of the draw

Rather get Roma now than in a 1 one-off final.
Roma are shite, we should do them. Not sure about Juventus, they're pretty bad too aren't they?
Not afraid of anyone.

I wanted Barcelona before drawing them and now I want Juve.
For the love of god, please not another Spanish team!
We batter Roma every time we face them.
Nobody should be worried about facing them.

Delighted Arsenal are out.
Not Sevilla. All else is fine
This x1000. Style points don’t count when trying to win a cup. Survive and advance.
Would be a good chance to get some wins on the record against Sevilla or Juventus while they're not at their strongest, like we did against Barca. But really I'd always prefer the easiest route.
I'd rather avoid Juve otherwise don't care. I suppose Sevilla is dull but they are awful this year.
Roma (Mourinho) and Juve will both be tough. Three Serie A teams in the CL quarters
We are aspiring to Champions League football next season remember.
Don’t mind who we draw. It is what it is.

Imagine if we end up faltering in the league, Liverpool nick 4th from us and we qualify for UCL by winning europa.
Would you take it?
Ahh you got me thinking now!
I think I would tbh as a trophy will be remembered more than a 3/4th place finish. It would be bitter for Liverpool to pip us after their disaster season though.
