J. Mourinho: The Europa League is now the most important tournament for us

The chief strategist of "Manchester United" Jose Mourinho has focused all his attention on the UEFA Europa League tournament, as the Portuguese understands that most likely only victory in this tournament will open the doors to the Champions League for them next season.

Today in Spain the first Europa League semi-final match between "Man Utd" and Celta Vigo will take place. "The Red Devils" are currently plagued by constant player injuries, but J. Mourinho will not allow his players to rest in the Europa League.

J. Mourinho even emphasized that during the weekend in the "Premier" league match against Arsenal in front of London, he will give rest to the main players so that they are ready for the return Europa League semi-final confrontation.

"I know that this is the only tournament that "Manchester United" has never won," - mentioned J. Mourinho. - We have a great opportunity to win this trophy and become a club that has won all the tournaments it has competed in."

"As for our team, this would be a great opportunity to return to the Champions League, despite all the problems we have had this season.

The Europa League has become the most important tournament for us this season. We will look at the players' situation and health, but there are many chances that during the weekend in England we will play with a slightly different lineup," - added J. Mourinho.

The Celta and Man Utd semi-final match will start today at 10:05 PM Lithuanian time.
