The Man Utd fans in the Transfer Tavern are pretty happy with this…

The Europa League has gotten a lot of flack for being a secondary competition as of late, but for Man Utd – it could become the most important tournament of the season.

With the Premier League looking out of their reach, and a top 4 finish still far less than certain – the Europa League could be Man Utd’s only route into the Champions League next season, with the winner of the Europa League getting automatic entry into Europe’s premier competition.

There was a loud cheer when Man Utd’s round of 32 opponent was announced, then, with St Etienne the opposition this time round for Jose Mourinho.

The game against the French side is one that Man Utd will be expected to win – and that has been reflected by the confidence shown by Man Utd fans around the world in response to the draw.

With that said, here are 6 of the best fan reactions to Man Utd’s Europa League draw…

That will do

Saint-Etienne; that will do. #mufc

Comfortable

Saint-Étienne doesn't seem all that bad. Should be comfortable. #EuropaLeague #MUFC

Beatable

Nice draw for United in the Europa League, not too far to travel for the away trip and a very beatable side #UELdraw #MUFC
