Amorim urges Manchester United to maintain focus before Europa League clash

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has expressed concern about his team's unpredictability ahead of their Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, despite holding a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg. Amorim highlighted United's tendency to 'lose our mind a little bit' during games, referencing recent collapses against Lyon and Brentford as evidence of their volatility. He emphasized that no lead is safe, warning that a single goal or moment could shift the momentum, and insisted his side must remain focused and aim to score rather than become complacent. Amorim dismissed the impact of Athletic's key absences, stating United must treat their opponents as a top team regardless of injuries. The Europa League is seen as United's last chance for redemption after a dismal domestic season, with Amorim acknowledging the team's struggles in the Premier League but urging calm and determination. He also reiterated the club's desire to retain key players like Bruno Fernandes amid transfer speculation.
