Amorim left Sporting CP, a team that was performing well, to take on the challenge of managing Manchester United, a club that has been struggling both on and off the pitch. The team's majority owners, the Glazers, have been criticized for their financial management, and the squad has been deemed not good enough for the Premier League. Despite this, Amorim has been praised for his bravery in taking on the challenge.
The team has had a disastrous season, with a record-breaking 16th place in the Premier League and early exits from the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. The team's performance has been inconsistent, and there have been eight winless games since a 3-0 win over Leicester City in March. Amorim has been criticized for his tactics and player selection, and the team's fans are eagerly awaiting a change.
However, a Europa League win could be a turning point for the team. It will bring a much-needed trophy and a spot in the Champions League, which will attract bigger names to the team. The team needs significant improvements in several areas, including attacking wing-backs, a physical holding midfielder, a goalkeeper, and an experienced striker. A win will give the team a chance to reset and rebuild, but a loss will only exacerbate the team's problems.
The team's financial situation is precarious, and the Glazers have warned that without cuts to the budget, the club would have gone bankrupt by last Christmas. A Europa League win will bring much-needed revenue, but the team will still face significant challenges in the transfer market. Amorim will need to be smart with the limited funds available to him, and the team's hierarchy will be under pressure to deliver a better season next year.
The Europa League final is a monumental game for Manchester United, and the team's fans are eagerly awaiting the result. A win will bring a sense of relief and a chance to rebuild, while a loss will lead to more disappointment and frustration. The team's future hangs in the balance, and the outcome of this game will have a significant impact on the club's trajectory.
