Manchester United is like a pile of broken glass. A title in the Europa League would not beautify Nothing on the messed up season for Rúben Amorim. He even wants to vacate his post if nothing changes.
Once a European football giant and subscription master of England, but in recent years became more and more a mockery. Manchester United ensured one negative stroke line after the other.
The downward spiral does not seem to end this season either. But despite the national misery – the Red Devils are 16. In the Premier League – United could go from this season with winning the Europa League – an international title of relevance.
Ruben Amorim is already threatening to say goodbye
Final? “Don’t matter”
Does the silver shine of a trophy save the season? There was a clear no on Sunday from coach Rúben Amorim. “For me it doesn’t matter whether we win the Europa League, because the problems are much greater than that,” emphasized the Portuguese, which was visibly angry after the 0-2 defeat against West Ham.
Even more: Amorim even confirmed that he would leave the Red Devils if there is no noticeable upward trend at the beginning of the next season. “If the feeling is still there next season, we have to go away and make room for other people. And we all,” announced the 40-year-old.
“Ded off our place to other people”
What does this feeling cause him? “The lack of energy, urgency. That is the most dangerous thing in this club. (…) If we cannot change it really quickly, we should resign to other people.”
“We lose the feeling of being a big club and the feeling that it is not the biggest thing in the world to lose a game at home. We no longer have this fear, and that is the most dangerous thing a great club can have. This is a reason to worry,” Amorim analyzed the misery of his team. He took responsibility for this himself. “It is not the fault of the players. It is my fault, I am responsible for it.”
Do Amorim’s finger ankles betray the truth?
If those responsible were of the same opinion, he would have been released long ago. The truth is probably in the middle. The players are also responsible, but also the construct Manunited and the bad planning of those responsible in recent years. All of this now flows in the sporting descent.
Does Amorim really think that he is wearing the main debt on the misery? A look at his left hand provides a hint. During the semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, he came out of the cabin with a patch over his knuckles at the second half. In the half -time speech, he apparently left his anger on the players again at the cabin facility. Afterwards you could see the wounds on your knuckles.
A few months earlier, according to English media reports, he is said to have destroyed a television in an anger speech in the cabin.
Despite Amorim statements: Title would be worth gold for United
Although a triumph in the final against Tottenham – by the way, the only team behind United in the table apart from the three newcomers – Amorim is not sufficient to make everything off, it would be worth gold. Despite a disaster season, the Red Devils would be qualified for the Champions League in the coming season.
This is difficult enough in the Premier League anyway and would not only secure additional income, but also mean a plus point in the player recruitment in summer. On May 21, it is not about saving the season so far, but a better starting point for the coming.
And as is well known, Amorim wants to see a different face of his team – or he is gone. And the Red Devils had worn out the next trainer without having resolved the actual problems.
