LONDON, United Kingdom: Ruben Amorim says nothing will change if he wins the Europa League with the “worst” Manchester United team in Premier League history.
United are currently a lowly 15th in the 20-team table – and only scraped through to the last four of the Europa League after a remarkable comeback against Lyon.
But they now have one foot in the final after a 3-0 semi-final first leg win against Athletic Bilbao last week ahead of Thursday’s return encounter at Old Trafford.
An all-English final is in prospect should Tottenham Hotspur defeat Bodo/Glimt, giving the sides 15th and 16th in the Premier League at present a chance to win a continental trophy, with the considerable added bonus of qualifying for the Champions League.
“In the end of this season, we can be the worst (United) team in Premier League history with a European title, so it will change nothing,” Amorim told reporters on Wednesday.
“We know that this season was really disappointing for everybody. Nothing is going to change,” added United manager Amorim, who took charge of the fallen English giants after replacing the sacked Erik ten Hag in November. – AFP
