Supercomputer predicts Man United chances of winning Europa League after Cristiano Ronaldo return

With Manchester United's victory over Sheriff Tiraspol, they have now qualified out of their group alongside Real Sociedad. However, who they will be playing is still yet to be decided.

If United fail to beat Sociedad by two goals then they will enter into the playoff round where they will play against teams like Barcelona and Sevilla. Erik ten Hag's former club Ajax are also expected to drop in alongside one of Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid.

With that in mind and with United's opponents still not confirmed, the supercomputer at FiveThirtyEight has given Ten Hag's side a 66% chance of making it to the Round of 16. They then have a 46% chance of making the quarter-finals.
