I've always enjoyed the EL personally. The more stuff we win the more it becomes habit, and I think we're well beyond this snobbery towards 'lesser' competitions at the moment.
We likely need a point to qualify is it?

Exit and hopefully ETH gets the sack at the end of season.
Exit Europe. Forget about the scramble for trophies short term at every cost, forget about being desperate for CL qualification. Let's build properly. Let Ten Hag coach properly. Let's trim the squad into players who can actually grow into top players here. Have a smaller squad to suit fewer games for now, have proper coaching time in between games, develop a good system, and work towards being a functional team again.
If we squeeze in, great, if not, whatever. Keep building. We have a few gems that can be a part of a top team. Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund... our best chance at a great team again will coincide with these guys hitting top levels, which is a few years away. Build accordingly.

How do we exit? Thought by not making the group stage you automatically go to Europa? Or is that only if you finish 3rd?
Europa and use it to go big on Mainoo, Diallo, Gore, Pellistri and co.
Worked out well after we won the league cup last season.
Ten Hag to pull a Homer and qualify for the CL last 16.
The way this season is going, you just know we'd get pantsed by Liverpool in the EL at some point.
Unexit. Balls to Thursday night BTEC Europe.
Unfortunately Europa League is another chance to get into the UCL so we will definitely go for it.
Personally I don’t see the point as we definitely aren’t winning that so we have to just exit Europe all together.

Exit please. I can see the appeal of the Europa League of we have a big enough squad and are trying to give games to people. As it is, we can barely fill our first eleven with quality. So no, let's go out. Give the lads some more time to recover between games, maybe some time for Ten Haag to earn his onions on the training pitch too.
I can already dress us being fatigued at Newcastle!

Given how the schedule wiped out the team towards the end of last season, and how the team have already had so many injuries this season, I'm all for no Europe entirely. Certain players won't get run into the ground, no pissing about flying all over the far reaches of Europe, and no Thursday/Sunday drag.
Get healthy, have more time to work on different things with the team and try and get the focus back for the League.

With the way ETH runs players into the ground, keep out ot Europa.
The Europa had an appeal if you have a realistic chance of winning it or are just using it to bring through young players.
Unfortunately I just don't see us doing either. It'll be full strength teams until we bow out with a whimper, so if rather just save time and exit Europe completely.

Conceding 10 goals in 3 matches against those is fantastic.
I think we’d be better off out of Europe this year, not that we have much say in it anyway
You didn't celebrate that one then no?
Exit, these lads need more time on the training ground, which was one of the problems last season when we was in every competition.
I am surprised to hear so many utd 'supporters' saying they would rather be knocked out of Euro competition than compete in Europa League after Christmas. I remember when we lost the Europa final a
I agree. Europa is way to go. I am surprised so many utd 'fans' are saying they would rather be knocked out of European competition. Did those people not celebrate when we won it in 2017, or feel heartbroken in 2021 when we lost final on pens? It pains me to say it, but I think those people are being disingenuous. We all know scousers are red hot favourites to win it this year and I suspect a lot of our fans are running scared of Liverpool after the recent thumpings. That is not the utd way. We should be embracing every chance to put one over the old enemy. I think Liverpool are vastly over-rated and that ETH can find a way to beat them. I am looking forward to the Europa League, we are not CL standard and no point kidding ourselves otherwise. EL is a realistic alternative.
Honestly I want to exit Europe altogether rather than enter Europa League. Some might feel we are not in the position to turn our nose up at any competition, and I feel that is true, but really I hate the slog of that particular competition and I do not want all of Man Utd games to be Thursday, Sunday for rest of the season. I also don't like the competition, I feel like it's become a B-list Champions League in recent years. Europa Conference is a more interesting competition.
Exit....we think we have an injury problem now, just wait. And I don't trust ETH to rotate a ton.
Exit, easy decision
We are going to beat Bayern and the other game will be a draw! Happy?
Easily would prefer to drop to the EL rather than out of Europe completely, we should be trying to do our best in as many competitions as possible, every one is worth winning regardless of how "valuable" people perceive said cups/ leagues.
I mean obviously Europa League. It makes it more likely we win a trophy, we get to play younger players, we get to watch more games and it will help secure 5th as a CL spot meaning another route to the CL.
As If we have a chance to make the EL 
We'll lose to Bayern.
We'll lose to Bayern.
We need to win and then as long as theres a winner in the other game we end up 3rd.
Part of me obviously wants us to win everything we are in but then again best thing this season might be one game a week.and hope the Thursday/Sunday takes its toll on other teams around us.
Injuries are killing us and its a much stronger Europa this year than previous years so not exactly ideal.
Europa of course. We need a squad that is used to playing midweek.
Exit. Enough embarrassments already
Europa. Still a cup. Has CL benefits too. We aren't in title race anyway and top 5 is guaranteed CL. If we don't get it, it's a sackable offense but this offers an alternate route.
Exit, no big team cares about that competition. Even winning it doesn't feel like a big thing.
Yeah feck the Europa League.
5th will probably get in the Champions League, so would rather just concentrate on the league and try and finish top 5.

Out. Concentrate on finishing as high as we can in the league.
I think stay in the Europa League and start playing youngsters (add Sancho). We need our youngsters to have more exposure to quality opposition and atmosphere so they can grow as footballers. I would also add Sancho, VDB, and some of our deadwood in so we could get Europe clubs and a preview of what they are buying. There are many players that need games at United with the likes of Hannibal, Pellestri, and Amad. These experiences will be invaluable to them.
I’m done with the EL, would much prefer to go out completely this season.
It's not, so far.
Care to explain ? I thought the format is changed from next year
Exit, we're so shite we'd only end getting knocked out in the first knock-out round against fecking Bruges or something.
