Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte has made an alarming revelation, admitting that he and his teammates are not able to compete physically against their Premier League opponents, hence why they’re performing much better in the Europa League.

The Red Devils have suffered 15 top-flight defeats but it has been a totally different story in the Europa League, where United remain unbeaten – the only team in Europe with such a record this term.
Ahead of United’s clash with Athletic Club at Estadio de San Mamés in the first leg of their semi-final tie, Ugarte was asked why they’re faring far much better in Europe than domestically.
He answered, “The main difference is the physical part, I think. We have felt better playing in the Europa League.”
