FC United, who returned to England, received great praise from the media, and no one now looks at the Reds in terms of promotion, but really thinks they are a team worthy of playing in Europe.

Arsenal, another team competing in the Europa League, also advanced to the semi-finals, beating CSKA Moscow 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg and drawing with Russia in the second leg, with Premier League teams occupying half of the last four of the Europa League, while Premier League teams in the Champions League will have the last laugh from Liverpool after playing against Manchester City, and the Reds will face the Red Wolf Roma, who defeated Barcelona in the semi-finals.

The other two teams in the Europa League semi-finals are Atletico de Madrid who eliminated Sporting Lisbon and Red Bull Salzburg who are 6-5 on aggregate with Lazio, and all English fans are praying that Arsenal and FC United will not be drawn together, so that there will be a chance that two Premier League teams will meet in the Europa League final.

And the draw result was also as they wished, FC United was the first to be drawn, meaning that the first leg of the semifinals will be played on the Red Course, and the second to be drawn is Red Bull Salzburg, so Arsenal and Atletico Madrid automatically become a matchup, because the third draw is drawn is Arsenal, so Arsenal will be home and away schedule.

Lu Wei is very happy with this result, Red Bull Salzburg is the weakest of the three teams, and the Premier League around the first leg is also home to FC United, so the first leg is also played on the red court to reduce the time the players spend on the road.

It's just that Lu Wei has some complaints about how it is Red Bull again, the eighth final is against your Leipzig, how is it you in the semifinals, as well as Marseille and Lyon, the knockout round on these two French teams all let me meet, UEFA, do you want me to offend less people or do you want them to achieve revenge.

FC United back in the league did not stop their progress, in the 34th round of the league three days later, they beat Watford by three goals at home, and Manchester United lost to the bottom four West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford this round, leaving only two points of the lead against FC United, and FC United have one round less, as long as they win next week's make-up matches, FC United will overtake Manchester United in the standings!

Manchester City's lead at the top of the league table is so huge, with 27 wins in 34 games and only three defeats to FC United, Liverpool and Manchester United, and the efficiency of points against the middle and lower reaches has almost ensured the ownership of this season's Premier League title, and regardless of the outcome of FC United and Manchester United in the next round, Manchester City can win three rounds ahead of the Premier League title.

Lu Wei also knows that he cannot interfere with Manchester City's forward route this season, even if he can double them in the league, then Manchester City can win the title early, his goal at the beginning of this season is only to enter the European zone, Lu Wei and the Red Rebels' real goal is actually the Europa League title!

Lu Wei rotated some players in the make-up match with Brighton, and less physical players like Matuidi and Giroud did not make the squad, and Robertson, Maguire, Tavernir and Saint-Maximin were all sitting on the bench watching.

Four days from now, the Europa League semi-finals are over, FC United do not have much to do in the league now, let the players maintain their fitness to impact the European results first.

FC United, which rotated more than half of their main players, did not drop much in combat, although Brighton caused them a little trouble at the beginning, Glenn United. Murray fired a low shot to give the Seagulls the lead, but after Proper received a second yellow card and was sent off, the game completely turned to FC United, Daniel Smith. James and Hayden scored in the second half to give the Reds a victory.

After overcoming the score, Lu Wei replaced Lozano, Maddison and Tarkovsky, and the main player on the FC United field was only Edward. Mendy and Hayden, but even so, Brighton did not pose much threat in the rest of the day, and a victory by one goal is not brilliant, but three points are enough.

This victory not only helped FC United to successfully overtake Manchester United to the second place in the table, but also FC United won seven games against Brighton in four years, becoming a true seagull slaughterer.

Arsenal, the other team in the Europa League, has not been in good shape recently, having lost seven consecutive games away from home and missing out on next season's Champions League ahead of schedule, and the biggest bad news for Arsenal fans has just begun.

Just a day before the match against West Ham United, Wenger suddenly released a personal statement announcing that he would step down as the team's manager this summer, and soon after, Arsenal officials confirmed the news.

The fans who have been singing "We want Wenger out" since the beginning of the season were dumbfounded, although they said that they had scolded for a season, but when they really wanted to leave, they felt that the old man was so beautiful, but unfortunately time could not be turned back, and people could not return to childhood.

At the Emirates Stadium, Lacazette's goal in the 61st minute gave Arsenal the lead, but Griezmann equalised in the 82nd minute and took away a valuable away goal from the side, and Arsenal will face a very difficult life and death battle at the Metropolitano Stadium in the second leg.

FC United's Europa League semi-final result was easy compared to Arsenal's struggle, with Maddison taking a cross from the left that bypassed Red Bull Salzburg defender Andre Ramalho in the opening 15 minutes, and Lozano headed the ball in at the back post.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Jadon Sancho extended the score with a kick from the box as FC United finished the first leg of the semi-finals with a two-goal advantage, and will fly to Austria and Red Bull Salzburg a week later for a decisive showdown.

But the score looks easy, but the process is a bit difficult, Red Bull Salzburg has no big stars, the most expensive in the team is 96 Malian defender Diadier Samaseku, and the most famous in the future is South Korean forward Hwang Hee-chan.

However, this mediocre lineup defused the Red Rebels' attack with fierce scrambling again and again, FC United's two goals were also lucky, Lozano's header came from the defender's rise, and Sancho's push was because the goalkeeper's line of sight was obstructed, and the reaction was slow.

Although he won, but the team has two players who will miss the semifinals of the second leg, Haidara tackles St. Maximan in a defense, St. Maximin lies on the ground holding his ankle and howls in pain, but the referee only showed a yellow card, after the team doctor's examination, fortunately, the problem is not very serious, just a hard injury, but it is difficult to determine whether he can play a week later.

And Maddison also received a yellow card when he came out for his teammates, this is the third yellow card he received in the Europa League, and he will be suspended for the next leg, and the main central defender Tarkovsky is also suspended, suddenly missing three big players, if not for the 2-0 victory, I am afraid Lu Wei will curse the street.
