Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho rates Manchester United now among the favourites for the Europa League.

United join Spurs in the competition after their elimination from the Champions League by RB Leipzig.

This morning, Mourinho says that Manchester United are now among the "top favourites" to win the Europa League after their Champions League exit.

Mourinho of course helped United win the trophy in 2017 and they reached the semi-finals of the competition in August before losing to eventual winners Sevilla.

"The teams that drop from the Champions League are strong teams and normally they don't belong to that level of the Europa League," Mourinho said.

"Manchester United is one of the top teams. The group was very hard with Manchester, Paris-St-Germain and Leipzig. We knew it was not going to be easy for any of them."
