Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Manchester United will not have it all the way

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Manchester United will not have it all the way in the Europa league despite being one of the biggest teams in the competition’s knockout stages this season.

Their failure to beat Wolfsburg recently saw United drop into the second-rate European competition. It has been seen as a major embarrassment for many players, who have been consistently used to Champions League football. The likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger won the competition only recently with Bayern Munich. His experience in the Premier European competition is unlikely to count according to Pochettino.

The former Southampton boss says that United can expect unique competition in the Europa league. The prospect of playing on Thursday nights will also be something that the players have to accustom. This has the possibility to dampen their form in the Premier League. Manager Louis van Gaal will be hoping that it is not the case especially since United are in a great position as far as the domestic league is concerned. The Europa league knockout stages do not start until early 2016. This gives Van Gaal some time to build the domestic form. Failure to score goals was seen as the major problem, but lacklustre defending proved to be the reason for downfall against Wolfsburg.

Jurgen Klopp secured a credible 0-0 draw against Tottenham in his first match incharge

Jurgen Klopp secured a credible 0-0 draw against Tottenham in his first match incharge of Liverpool. There was plenty of his familiar touches during the game including the intense pressing in order to recover the ball. As the players get used to his way of training, the results are expected to get much better. He was the first choice to replace Brendan Rodgers after the Northern Irishman was sacked just before the last international break. SinceKlopp’s tactics are more or less similar to that of Rodgers and this is believed to have played a huge role in his appointment.

The arrival of Klopp has also made midfielder EmreCan extremely happy. Can knows Klopp reasonably well from his time in German football. The duo may share the same nationality but this is unlikely to help the players in terms of getting appearances on the pitch. He will have to earn his way into the first-team. After being signed by Rodgers last summer, Can has become an important member of the team. He did start the game against Tottenham and is likely to hold his place in the future games as well. Can says that the manager is someone who will certainly fit Liverpool in all forms.
