I got impression that Man U deliberately sabotaged chance to be in Europa league. The dreaded Thursday night/ Sunday teatime schedule seems a bit undesirable.
Wouldn't be surprised if Man U say to EUFA" thanks but no thanks, we really we don't deserve to be in Europa, give it the spot to Stoke"
Can you see diva Rooney wanting to travel to the likes of AZ Alkmaar, Slovan Liberec or FC Rubin Kazan on a wet groggy Thursday night? They really hated when SAF led them out of CL and dropped into Europa and got themselved to ties with likes of Twente or Braga
