Ruben Amorim: Man Utd Could Be Worst PL Team with Europa League Title

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim acknowledged that despite the team's poor Premier League performance this season—potentially their worst in the competition's history—they could still win the Europa League, which would make them the 'worst team in Premier League history to win a European title.' With United sitting 15th in the league and already guaranteeing their lowest-ever points total, Amorim emphasized that European success would not erase the disappointment of their domestic campaign. He also highlighted the importance of captain Bruno Fernandes, who is a top scorer in the Europa League and a central figure amid transfer rumors. Amorim cautioned against complacency ahead of the second-leg semi-final against Athletic Bilbao, noting that the team's inconsistency and tendency to 'lose our minds' make any outcome possible. Despite a 3-0 lead from the first leg, Amorim stressed the need to remain focused, citing past matches where United's performance shifted dramatically within games. Bilbao will also be missing key players, but Amorim expects them to remain a serious threat.
