Agreed, United should have won it last year on paper - strongest team in there.
But a combination of prioritisation and also facing a perfectly timed Bilbao monster got rid of us.
United fans really didn't care, neither did Fergie I don't think. We don't look at ourselves as a Europa League team. Once we went out of the CL, that was kind of the European dissappointment for the year, tbh.
You really can't knock Rafa's record in Europe. 4 finals in 10 years. Not the man to win you a league, but a very good manager in one-off cup ties.
