Manchester United has decided to stick to head coach Ruben Amorim for next season despite a terrible Premier League campaign this year. It is indicated that even if the team loses the final of the Europa League against Tottenham Hotspur and is missing in a place in the Champions League, Amorim will continue as a manager.
Manchester United was eliminated from FA Cup by Fulham and was eliminated from the league cup by the spurs. However, their race in the Europa League gave fans a little hope. If United defeated Tottenham in the final on May 22, they will qualify for the Champions League next season. It will be a huge boost for the club given its bad EPL season.
Amorim will remain even if United loses the Europa League final
The guardian have reported that the club’s board of directors will always give Amorim a chance, even if they lose the final of the Europa League because they want it to have a full transfer window to build a team according to its needs, then see how it does.
After United lost 2-0 against West Ham on Sunday, Amorim looked very frustrated. He even hinted that he could stop if the situation does not change. “I am talking about myself, the culture of the club and the team. We must be strong and courageous this summer. If we continue like that, it may be time for someone else to take my place. ”
“Everything is mental. We are no longer afraid of losing as a Manchester United, and it’s very dangerous for a big club,” he added.
Amorim to target new talents in summer
Amorim would target the Wolves Matheus Cunha striker and the Ipswich Liam Delap striker as key signatures in summer. But to buy these players, United will have to sell some of their already existing stars. Cunha has a liberation clause of 62.5 million pounds sterling, while Delap is 30 million pounds sterling.
One of the players likely to leave is Marcus Rashford. It is currently ready for Aston Villa, which can sign it permanently for 40 million pounds sterling. There are other players who could also be on the list to collect funds for the transfer window.
United has had a nightmare campaign because they are currently sitting in 16th place in the table of EPP points with 17 defeats in 36 games. This is their worst League record since the 1973-74 season. Amorim succeeded Erik Ten Hag in November, but has not yet been able to turn around.
