Amorim prioritizes Europa League amid financial struggles at Manchester United

Manchester United, under manager Ruben Amorim, are prioritizing a Europa League triumph to secure Champions League qualification and a significant financial boost for summer transfers. Amorim has emphasized the importance of both Europa League success and improving their Premier League standing, as each league position brings additional prize money crucial for the club's tight finances. United are planning to offload players like Antony, potentially recouping up to £42.5 million to strengthen their budget for new signings, especially targeting a striker and a No.10. Despite domestic struggles, Amorim is prepared to rest key players in the league to protect them for European fixtures, balancing the risk of a historically low league finish with the potential financial windfall from European success. The club is also exploring budget-friendly transfer options, including alternatives to higher-priced strikers, due to limited funds and competition from other clubs. Amorim’s approach reflects a pragmatic response to United’s financial constraints while aiming for a rapid squad rebuild.
