Jose Mourinho: Man United will make most of Europa League ‘reality’

Manchester United do not want to be in the Europa League but Jose Mourinho intends to make the best out of the situation. 

A three-year malaise set in after Alex Ferguson brought his trophy-laden career to an end, with David Moyes and Louis van Gaal paying with their jobs after failing to reach the Champions League.

It means the three-time continental champions will this season ply their trade in the Europa League, getting their first group stage campaign under way tonight with a tough-looking trip to Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord.
