Manchester United has consistently played a catastrophic season and lost the final of the Europa League. Coach Ruben Amorim offers his resignation, but should remain.
November 5, 2024 will have been a good day for the fans of Manchester United, although their team did not play at all. However, her city rival went 1: 4 in the Champions League. But that was just a nice side effect, because City lost at Sporting, the club from Lisbon that Rúben trained Amorim.
At that time, that Amorim had already signed a contract with United as the successor to Erik Ten Hag and the interim solution Ruud van Nistelrooy. However, he wanted to contest this game against City with Sporting and say goodbye to the club that the 40 -year -old Portuguese had led to the championship twice in his four years.
It became a brilliant evening, which at Manchester United and the fans aroused confidence that it is finally going up again. The record champion had already lost four of the first ten games in the Premier League at the time, after all, after a 1-1 against Chelsea FC, he had climbed to the 13th place in the table.
14 defeats in Premier League under Amorim
The last of 38 match days is coming up on Sunday (25.05.2025). Manchester United occupies the 16th place and lost 18 games. In the FA Cup, the team was eliminated in the round of 16 at home in Old Trafford against FC Fulham. In the league cup ended in the quarter -finals near Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spurs are the only team that is even worse than United in the Premier League, but will not descend. Tottenham’s Miserable season found a conciliatory end in Bilbao on Wednesday, because Manchester United was conquered for the fourth time this season, now in the final of the Europa League.
The 1-0 brought the club from the north of London not only the fourth European Cup in the club’s history, but also the qualification for the Champions League. Manchester United only watches next season when European competitions are pending.
Tor summarizes the game well
Tottenham won through a gate that summarized the 90 minutes very well. Somehow Brennan Johnson gurded the ball over the line with a square centimeter of his shoe. The goal fell in the 42nd minute, so there was still more than a half for United time to flank out of the half field, which actually gave chances, but mostly only shaking my head with your own fans and neutral observation.
Rio Ferdinand, club legend and TV expert judged the club with which he won several championships and in 2008 the Champions League: “A catastrophic season that ends with a bad grade. But I don’t think Manchester has done enough to earn the title.
“Crowning an absolute horror season”
The BBC wrote: “This is the crowning glory of an absolute horror season for Manchester United.”
The trainer did what coaches like to do in such moments – look ahead. He also offered: “If the board and fans believe that I am not the right one, I will go the next day without talking about compensation.” However, he then said: “But I will not quit. I am convinced of my job. And as you see, I will not change anything in my way of working.”
So far, nothing indicates that Amorim has to fear for his job. There was also backing from the team. Luke Shaw, who achieved 99 percent – without greater fault – said: “I am sure that he will create the turn.”
They were more often with United in recent years, for example in November 2024.
