Preview: FCSBVs Man United
The hosts are set for a clash against Man United in the upcoming Europa League fixture.
The Romanian side FCSB are all set to lock horns with Manchester United in their next UEFA Europa League 2024-25 clash on January 31. This is going to be an intense clash as both teams have similar points and with a win can come closer to the top spot in the points table. Both FCSB and the Red Devils have won an equal amount of matches in the Europa League this edition.
FCSB will be confident at their home as they are coming with a 1-0 win in their last SuperLiga match and also in their Europa League match. They will also have an advantage of their home supporters in what is going to be an intense clash against Man United. The Romanian club will be coming in for the team against the inconsistent Premier League side. FCSB are in the 2nd spot in their SuperLiga standings.
Manchester United are looking to come back to winning ways. The Red Devils lack consistency but would like to extend their two-match winning streak. Ruben Amorim’s men will be keen on securing three points after a lacklustre season so far. They are in the 12th spot in the Premier League 2024-25 standings but have comparatively done well when it comes to the Europa League.

About UEFA Europa League:
History
The UEFA Europa League (previously known as the UEFA Cup), abbreviated as UEL, is an annual football club competition organised since 1971 by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) for eligible European football clubs. It is the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the UEFA Champions League and above the UEFA Conference League.
Introduced in 1971 as the UEFA Cup, it replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The UEFA Cup was the third-tier European club competition from 1971 to 1999 before the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued, and it is still often referred to as the "C3" in reference to this.[3] Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions.
In 1999, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was merged with the UEFA Cup and discontinued as a separate competition. From the 2004–05 season a group stage was added before the knockout phase. The competition took on its current name in 2009, following a change in format. The 2009 re-branding included a merge with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, producing an enlarged competition format, with an expanded group stage and a change in qualifying criteria. The winner of the UEFA Europa League qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup, for the following season's UEFA Champions League since the 2014–15 season, entering at the group stage, as well as for the UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge — a friendly cup against the winners of the CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana — since 2023. In the 2024–25 season, the group stage was replaced with an expanded league phase.
Spanish clubs have the highest number of victories (14 wins), followed by teams from Italy (10 wins) and England (9 wins). The title has been won by 30 clubs, 14 of which have won it more than once. The most successful club in the competition is Sevilla, with seven titles. Colombian striker Radamel Falcao holds the record of most goals (17) scored in a single season of the tournament.
