United fans doing a tour of spain this season. Sociedad-Barcelona-Betis where next? Would have preferred a non spanish side so we could play with Harry and Lindelof in the games.
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Not the kindest draw (again). We should win but, unless we run riot at OT, there’s not much scope for resting key players. If we win on Sunday, Erik should seriously think about sending out a much weakened side against West Ham. Otherwise our main players will be on a three month treadmill of 3 games every 8-9 days.

Betis aren't an easy out and are a worse match up than barcelona stylistically since Pellegrini will have zero problems parking the bus at OT, and at home they will have a seriois home field advantage
And they have enough quality to be dangerous. United should win, but it probably won't be easy. Definitely could have had better luck with the draw

Why don't they just have us join la liga already, I bet next season in ucl we will get real sociedad in group stages and either barca, real or atletico in knockouts
There were 7 teams we could draw - 2 were Spanish.
Sociedad the toughest draw together with Freiburg - who I feel is a stronger team than Betis based on what they have done in this seasons Bundesliga.
So IMO opinion - we got the third toughest draw out of 7
But I would rather we got Betis than a trip to Fenerbahce

The secrets of eternal youth
What is it with us always drawing LaLiga teams, should be a little easier but I still wouldn’t want to underestimate them!
Wished we’d drawn Feyenoord or better still, Roma.
Ye id love nothing more then to knock out a mourinho team.
Yeah would’ve been funny watching him going nuclear on the touchline!
We obviously couldn't have drawn Roma in this round. But, yeah, had we won the group we'd have had them like Sociedad have. I'm glad we're not playing them, and I'm hoping we can avoid the likes of Roma, Juventus, Sevilla and Arsenal for as long as possible.

I wouldn't really say we've been 'fortunate' in the FA Cup. Yes, we keep being drawn at home which is fortunate, but I'd say that's balanced out by two out of three draws being against PL sides and us not drawing a team below the championship.
I'd say 'fortunate' in the FA Cup is drawing lower league teams home or away, that allows for comfortable wins while resting players - not drawing the likes of Everton and West Ham at home. I'd put those draws into the Betis category - could be worse, but could be better and are tricky ties that don't allow for much rotation.
Lovely, didn't realize. Have nothing better to do, will probably sit and watch. On ESPN+ in the States.Elche v Betis tonght in LaLiga.. so it could well be televised on one of the sports channels. Maybe worth watching just to see what we're up against first hand
Playing at home is what I meant tbh
Not that happy with the draw as it's Spanish team yet again..
Getting hammered at Dulche de Elche.
What am I missing
I'm happy we drew another Spanish team, so we can get rid of the constant reminder that we don't have a good record against them...until we do then we can stop hearing about it.
If that's Michael Masi, then it's no you who's missing something.What am I missing
Those activities helped certain United player to play in his 40sWhat am I missing
Betis getting battered by bottom of table Elche
We should be able to easily expose a midfield of Guardado and Carvalho.
Also didn't realise Ayoze Perez was playing for them.

Worried about a team 22 points behind a team we just beat! Classic CAF
Who are you kidding, Atletico in the knockouts
They're currently losing 2-0 to Elche. We've got this...
Even if they win vs bottom of the league Elche (now 2-1) they would have needed a two man advantage to do so.
EDIT: 2-2 in a game that bottom of the league Elche imploded with 2 red cards.
It was 2-0 until Elche got 2 red cards…
Yup 2 red in the space of 3 minutes (57th and 60th minute)
The guy at UEFA who picks the draw results really hates us. I'm assuming he would have picked Real Sociedad if we hadn't played them twice already. Now Roma are stuck with them instead. That'll make an interesting tie.
Hopefully our games against them are a bit less chaotic than their match today. 4 penalties and 3 red cards!
running down the left wing
Exactly. If we drew these in the CL, people would be doing cartwheels!Worried about a team 22 points behind a team we just beat! Classic CAF
We only really worry about those Spanish mobs when it's a tight match.
Score a few and their antics can be laughed at instead of giving us anxiety.
