Manchester United will need to take Europa League seriously

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United like to think of themselves as one of Europe's elite. A club that not only should be competing in the UEFA Champions League, but challenging to win it.

Yet this season -- again -- they're in the UEFA Europa League. And after drawing 1-1 with FC Twente on Wednesday, they looked every inch the Europa League team.

The Dutch side, currently sitting fourth in Eredivisie and among the lowest seeds in the competition, were thrilled with their point and the 4,000 supporters inside Old Trafford celebrated like they'd won.
