Ruben Amorim admitted that Manchester United failed in his first season at the head of the team, even if they win the Europa League.

United lived a 2024-2 nightmarish season, preparing to finish out of the top 10 for the first time since the creation of the Premier League.

They were also eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup from the first rounds. A qualification for the last square in the Europa League is the only salvation for the Red Devils, but coach Ruben Amorim believes that even winning the trophy will not “save” their season.

Nothing will save Manchester United

Addressing journalists, the Portuguese coach said: “ Everyone knows it's very important for our season. Nothing will “save” it, but it can be huge. Winning a trophy and qualifying for the Champions League next year can change a lot, even in summer. ”

Hope for redemption

The giants of the Premier League qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League dramatically thanks to an epic rise during the extension of their quarter-final return against Lyon. While their journey seemed to end six minutes from the end, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire marked blow to seal United's victory.

The Amorim team is ready to face the Athletic Club in the first leg of the Europa League on Thursday. She will receive them in the return match a week later.
