Amorim: Europa League Win Won't Rescue Manchester United's Season

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim and midfielder Manuel Ugarte have both acknowledged that, despite the potential significance of winning the Europa League, such success will not be enough to salvage what has been the club's worst Premier League season in the modern era. While lifting the trophy would secure Champions League qualification and provide a crucial financial and morale boost, Amorim insists that many of the team's core issues, including inconsistency and a lack of goals, would remain unresolved. The Europa League victory is viewed more as a 'shortcut' to European football and vital summer changes, rather than a remedy for deeper problems. Financially, winning the competition could net United around £50 million and prevent further losses related to sponsorship penalties and reduced matchday revenue, underscoring the high stakes for the club's immediate future. Amorim stresses that true progress will require structural changes, improved recruitment, and greater consistency to return United to the top level, regardless of European success.
