Manchester United Plans Retain Ruben Amorim Despite Poor Premier League Form, Europa League Final Outcome

Manchester United have decided to retain head coach Ruben Amorim for the next season regardless of the outcome of the Europa League final against Tottenham, despite a poor Premier League campaign that has seen them drop to 16th place with their worst performance in decades. The club's hierarchy, led by co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, believes Amorim should be judged after having a full summer transfer window to rebuild the squad with players suited to his tactical system. Amorim has expressed frustration with the current situation and hinted he might step down if results do not improve, emphasizing a concerning lack of fear of losing within the team culture. The Portuguese coach aims to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha and Ipswich striker Liam Delap, but United will need to generate funds by selling established players like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Casemiro, and Rasmus Højlund to afford these targets. Despite early exits from domestic cups and a disappointing league season, United's strong performance in the Europa League offers a pathway to Champions League qualification if they win the final. The club remains committed to giving Amorim the opportunity to turn things around, reflecting a long-term vision rather than immediate dismissal.
