I really do think that United winning Europa last year was a big deal because its clearly not an easy road considering those factors.

Its not an easy road by any means, and I was someone who was pissed with Brendan Rodgers for consistently under-achieving in it, but United did exactly what they should have done (and what I admonished Rodgers for not doing) and they paid attention to the Europa League and back-doored their way into the Champion's League.
