Why Darren Maule has #EggsBenedict on his face
Jose Mourinho has put all his eggs in one basket. Wednesday night will prove whether he was right or wrong. Plus, find out here why Darren Maule has #EggsBenedict on his face..
Every team in Europe wants to qualify for the UEFA Champions League - and Manchester United are no different. For English teams to qualify for the elite club competition they have to finish in the top four in their domestic league or win the UEFA Europa League.
Mourinho relinquished top four hopes earlier in the season and focused his energy on trying to qualify through winning the Europa League. Manchester United not qualifying for the Champions League is a disaster, so the Europa League final against Ajax Amsterdam is make or break on Wednesday.
He recently rested some of his big name players for league matches and they will be firing on all cylinders on the day. He is a master tactician and he doesn't lose cup finals.
He knows that qualifying for the Champions League doesn't only gauge the success of the season but it also affects the team's ability to attract big name players. There are rumours doing the rounds that James Rodriguez and Antoine Griezmann will only join the Red Devils if the qualify for the Champions League.
Knowing Mourinho well through years of following his progress, I think he has a bag full of tricks up his sleeve. Manchester United will triumph.
