Manchester United, Tottenham and Rangers all involved in revamped tournament
Tottenham scrapped past Ferencvaros to make to two wins from two in the Europa League this season.
A tricky clash in Hungary proved just that as the hosts pushed Spurs the whole way, but goals from Pape Sarr and Brennan Johnson got the job done. Later, Manchester United face Porto with plenty of pressure on manager Erik ten Hag’s head.
As part of the relaunch, which will see all 36 teams compete across a single league table before splitting into play-offs and knockouts depending on finishing position, both the Europa League and Champions League have been handed exclusive weeks for their first week of action.
It looks an open tournament this time around, perhaps offering the British teams involved a chance at a deep run if they can come through the initial phase.
