INEOS make Europa League expectations clear as Ruben Amorim faces pivotal clash vs Tottenham

The final at Estadio de San Mamés next week is Manchester United’s last chance to salvage a disastrous year. Ruben Amorim’s side has been very disappointing to say the least domestically, with no notable successes in the Carabao Cup or the FA Cup despite large investment in the squad. Whatever happens in the future. beating Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao—who have beaten United three times already this season—would provide a trophy and, significantly, qualification for next season’s Champions League. Participation in Europe’s premier competition could bring in up to £100 million of revenue, which would be a significant boost going into this important summer when United will endure a complete overhaul in the squad under Amorim.

Amorim is all secured for his first transfer window with United

According to The Guardian, Manchester United have decided to keep Ruben Amorim as head coach next season, regardless of the outcome in the Europa League final against Tottenham. Despite a dismal domestic campaign and the possibility of finishing in the bottom half without silverware or European football, INEOS remain committed to Amorim. The club believes he deserves the upcoming summer transfer window to reshape the squad and bring in players who fit his tactical approach.

David Ornstein confirms this, saying that the idea of sacking Ruben Amorim is “one of the last things on [United’s] agenda” this summer. On The Athletic’s Back Pages Podcast, Ornstein explained that clubs always carry out end-of-season reviews, especially when the season hasn’t gone well, so it is not unusual for the manager to be involved in that process afterwards. Ratcliffe confirmed that he too has “really liked” Amorim’s work, despite “the poor form” of the team. Ratcliffe reiterated that he “will be” at Old Trafford next season, expressing confidence that Amorim has done a good job under the circumstances.

An overhaul of the first-team squad is a top priority at Old Trafford, with the growing consensus that any manager would face challenges with the current group of players. Liam Delap (Ipswich Town) and Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers) are the club’s primary attacking targets, with Amorim viewing them as key players in his rebuilding plans. United would be real contenders for the title next season.
