Manchester United's comfortable win over Ajax in the 2016-17 Europa League was, surprisingly, the first time in their illustrious history that they'd lifted the trophy. It meant that they completed the full house of trophies, Champions League/European Cup, Europa League/UEFA Cup, European Cup Winners Cup, European Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup/Intercontinental Cup, English Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, FA Charity Shield/Community Shield. Not only is it a third trophy for Jose Mourinho and his team, it's also important in that it gives them a place back in the Champions League for the 2017-18 season. With United, local rivals Manchester City and Liverpool all expecting to target more signings over the summer, it promises to be another exciting season. Full details on what the latest odds will be as the pre-season unfolds can be found at https://sport.netbet.co.uk/football/. With Arsenal missing out on the Champions League next season, they will be hoping to emulate Manchester Utd and claim the Europa League for the first time, having come close in 1999-2000 when they lost out on penalties to Galatasaray in the final in Copenhagen.
