Man United make decision on Ruben Amorim’s future ahead of Europa League final

Manchester United will not sack manager Ruben Amorim if they lose the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, according to the Guardian.

Amorim has failed to change United’s fortunes since replacing Erik ten Hag as the club’s manager in November.

United have lost 13 of the 25 league games played under the Portuguese tactician and are set to finish in their lowest-ever position in the Premier League era.

Fulham also knocked them out of the FA Cup at home, and they lost in the Carabao Cup quarter-final to Tottenham Hotspur.

Winning the Europa League would be United’s only positive in their first season under the 40-year-old tactician, although the club are planning low-key celebrations if they win the competition.

Winning it will secure Champions League qualification and help United’s chances of landing top transfer targets.

Despite the consequences of not winning the Europa League, the club are preparing for next season with Amorim in charge.

They are ready to back him in the transfer window by signing players that suit his tactical set-up.

United have set their sights on signing Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap, two players who can help the Portuguese succeed at the club.

Cunha is a perfect fit for the number ten role, having excelled at that position at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Delap could end the club’s search for a prolific goalscorer.

While United have the financial wherewithal to sign the duo without selling, they need to dispose of some players to make more signings.

Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho are all likely to be sold, and the club could recoup more than £100 million from their sales.

Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Cristian Eriksen are also leaving after their contracts expire at the end of the season.

United would save approximately millions of pounds from their departures, allowing them to back Amorim with more signings that suit his philosophy.
