So i was thinking to myself and mentally preparing for the possibility we wouldn't beat Valencia and would be playing Europa League. Aside from he obvious disappointment I didn't see it as that horrendous an outcome.
The positives i thought of were the fact that it's still European football, you get a chance to play some teams you would otherwise not (which I, for some reason, quite like), and if Sir Alex doesn't care too much for it it's a good chance to rotate the squad and give some other players a taste of European football and help develop some youth in a fairly strong competition. Could be very good for the development of the squad. If Sir Alex does want to take it seriously then it's a good chance to pick up another reputable trophy.
Just some of the things i was thinking prior to our win over Valencia anyway.
