Jurgen Klopp expects Manchester United to
secure a place in next season’s Champions
League by winning the Europa League next
month.
Jose Mourinho’s men drew 1-1 with
Anderlecht in the first leg of their quarter-
final tie last week and stand a good chance
of progressing through to the semi-finals.
United are currently four points behind
fourth-placed Manchester City with a game in hand, but Klopp believes his rivals will be in the Champions League next term, regardless of where they finish in the Premier League.
‘Manchester United have a tremendously
well-assembled squad. They are very likely to reach the Europa League final, so we’ll then see how many key players they still have available,’ Klopp told Sport1.
‘They have already got injury problems.
‘But with their extensive squad, they have
been able to react to pretty much everything that has come their way.
‘Recently they have had four or five players
out injured and Henrikh Mkhitaryan was not used in the early stages of the tournament.
‘You can tell from that just how much quality they possess from the outset.
‘United have a mix of experience, pace and
quality. They are truly a good team.
‘And to my mind they are favourites to win
the Europa League.’
