I will leave if I am not wanted as the United manager rues Europa League Final loss

Following Manchester United’s defeat to Tottenham in the final of 2024/25 Europa League last night, Ruben Amorim has vowed to quit if not wanted.

Amorim became the United’s head coach in November 2024 with the club rooted to 13th on the English Premier League table.

The Red Devils have experienced further slip as they have  to 16th position and dumped out of three cup competitions.

However, the Portuguese coach remains defiant, insisting he is the right man to lead Manchester United forward.

“If the board and the fans feel I’m not the right guy, I will go in the next day,” said Amorim. “But I will not quit again.

“I am confident in my job. As you see, I will not change anything in the way I do things.

“In this moment, I am not here to defend myself. It’s not my style. I have nothing to show to the fans. In this moment [I need] a little bit of faith.”

I Will Leave If I am Not Wanted – Amorim

Amorim Is Perfectly The Right Man − Shaw

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw throws weight behind the under fire manager by insisting that the Portuguese coach is the right man for the job.

Also posited that the United’s team need to look at themselves following defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the Europa League.

Speaking after the final. A disappointed Luke Shaw stated Amorim is the right man−pointing that every United’s player needs to look inward and “questions ourselves on if we are good enough to be here.”

“We’re all gutted, it’s not how we saw the outcome to be honest,” Shaw said.

“But it’s not just tonight, this whole season, it’s been nowhere near good enough. I think all of us have to question ourselves on if we’re good enough to be here.

I Will Leave If I am Not Wanted – Amorim

Questioned if Ruben Amorim’s six month as United’s coach has any better than Erik ten Haag,

“For a team like Manchester (United), for the season we’ve had, it’s not acceptable. We know that, we all know that, I know that. It’s not where Manchester (United) should be.”

When asked about Amorim’s credentials, Shaw answered: “I can say 100 percent right now he’s the right man.

“Results have not been good at all. I’ve been here for a long time now and been through different managers.

“Ruben, for me, I talk on my behalf and I can talk on behalf of all the players, he is 100 percent the right manager to take us back to where this club should be.

“It’s going to be a very difficult process, us as players, we’ve let a lot of people down, including Ruben.

I will say it again, we’ve been nowhere near good enough the whole season.”

The fullback was calamitous in the run-up to Johnson goal in the first-half for Spurs, apologized to the fans, admitting that the club are now at “rock bottom.”

“A lot has to change, it’s clear to see,” said Shaw. “That’s why I say Ruben is 100 percent the right person. He knows what is to be done at this club, I believe he will do everything to make that change and put Manchester back at the top.

“I think the fans? I understand that right now they are going to be annoyed. And rightly so. But all I can say is thank you so much for the support.

“Everywhere we go, including where we are in the table, the results we’ve had this year, they’ve always still been there.

“I can only say firstly thank you so much for your support, and secondly we’re very sorry for what they’ve had to go through this season. It’s been nowhere near good enough and I can only apologise for that.

“We have to look at the positives and the only positive is we can only go up from here We’re at rock bottom now we have to find only go up from here.

I Will Leave If I am Not Wanted – Amorim

“We are at rock bottom now, we have to find a way to drive ourselves back and get back to where this club deserves to be.”

Amorim Is Right Man For The Job – Fernandes

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes believes Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim is the “right man” to steer United to success in near future.

“We just agreed that he’s the right man,” Fernandes said of his compatriot, who succeeded Erik ten Hag in November.

“He has done a lot of good things. We know that the manager is looked at by the results.

Obviously, we see more than that as players.

“We know for everyone it will be about him bringing back the positivity in the club, trying to bring the club back to fight for trophies, fight for the big trophies. And we all agree that he’s the right man.”

I Will Leave If I am Not Wanted – Amorim

Fernandes appeared to speak moments after Amorim had vowed not to step down but eventually admitted that he was ready to quit without being compensated if United’s board and fans wanted him out.

The United midfielder asked what he loves to say to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Club’s executives, the captain said: “It’s not my decision, but I do think the manager is the right one.

“I don’t think that it will be a better person to come into the job and to do the job.

I know it’s difficult to understand that, it’s difficult to see that, but I still do think that he’s the right man to lead the club.

“I do think that obviously the club is in a situation where it’s easier to get a different one in because the results haven’t easier to get a different one in because the results haven’t been there.

“But as my other team-mates said, and I repeat myself, I do think he’s the right man.”

I Love To Stay But Could Be Sold – Fernandes

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has reiterated his desire to remain at the club beyond this summer but admitted he could be sold following erroneous Europa League final loss to Tottenham.

The Portuguese’s performance has been an outstanding performer this season at Old Trafford, but even his performance in the 1-0 Europa League final loss to Spurs on Wednesday deemed his star in Bilbao.

Fernandes has recently been touted in a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, prompting United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, to emphasise that the club should try to keep “one of the top players in the world”.

But the EL final loss to Tottenham has financial implication as it now appears that the Red Devils will be without European football next season, mustering questions over Fernandes’ future at the club.

“I’ve always said I will be here until the club says to me that it’s time to go,” Fernandes said. “I’m eager to do more, to be This video is currently unavailable able to bring the club to great days.

“In the day that the club thinks that I’m too much or it’s time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it. But I’ve always said it and I keep my word in the same way.

“If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to do some cash in or whatever, it’s what it is, and football sometimes is like this.”
