Preview: Man United Vs Rangers
The loser of this game could move out of automatic qualification spots.
The UEFA Europa League will return to the Theatre of Dreams as Manchester United welcome Rangers for their seventh league phase fixture. United have been solid in the Europa League under their new manager and have already secured two wins in two games. Moreover, if the Red Devils manage to win this game, Ruben Amorim will become only the third manager to win all of his opening three games in major European competitions alongside Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.
Rangers on the other hand will be eyeing revenge having failed to secure a single win against United in five previous meetings. With 11 points from three wins and two draws, they are just one point behind the English giants in the standings. The Light Blues come into this game on the back of three wins in their last five outings. They have scored 13 goals, the third highest in the competition and will look to capitalize on their chances.

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.
