Amorim’s candidness about his own limitations and the challenges facing the club underscores the depth of the crisis at Old Trafford.
Despite the domestic struggles, Manchester United have shown resilience in European competition, securing a place in the Europa League final after a commanding 7-1 aggregate victory over Athletic Bilbao. Amorim has emphasized that winning the Europa League is essential, stating that “nothing but Europa League victory will do” to restore belief and morale .
