Ruben Amorim: Manchester United doubles on comments that the Europa League is not crucial to the club on the eve of the real game Sociedad | Football news
Ruben Amorim has doubled his comments that Manchester United does not have to win this season of the Europa League to make steps forward – claiming that the club can still attract top players without the Champions League football football football.
After last weekend, the FA Cup exit to Fulham, the Europa League represents the last chance of United for silver accessories this season – and at the same time their last realistic hope for the qualification for continental football for the next term.
The winning of the Europa League, of which United starts his knockout stage at Real Sociedad on Thursday night, would guarantee the Champions League football for United next season.
But in an interview for Sky Sports This week, he said that United’s project is even greater than only one trophy – and that he is convinced that the club will return to the top, whether he is in charge.
“We have to think bigger things,” he told Amor about Europe League. “I know it’s strange to say, but the thing we try here is to build is more important than winning a cup at the moment.
“I know the responsibilities we have at the moment – that we have to fight for every trophy. But we are trying to build just over one trophy this season.
“If you look at our team as playing and results, it’s hard to imagine big things for our club. But in the darkest moments, we have to have light and the way. It’s clear here. I don’t know if I will be here, but the way we think about things, we will return and win in the future.
“But then it’s a risk – we don’t win in games. And when you don’t, sometimes you have to change people. But as a club we do a lot of things that are hard to do.”
At his press conference on Wednesday night, Amorim confirmed his belief that he would still need to solve the club’s problems, even if they have a Champions League football football football next season.
“It’s not a key thing for the club’s future,” he said. “That’s my gaze.
“I’ve been here for three months, that’s clear. But I understand that this is a huge difference in our season. Especially since we’re out of the Cup and in a bad position in the league.
“So that could change many things, even the way they see a coach! Manchester United can call all the best players even without the Champions League in the future. We have to change a lot of things and try to do it.
“At this point, there is a lot more important things than winning the Cup. It’s my feeling. But I understand that winning the Europa League can change everything for us next season.
“We have to think about the club, as a long project and not solve things at the moment. You don’t think, you don’t win the Cup that we are in a bad position, if you win the Europa League, we would be in an incredible position, because the problems here continue here with the Champions League.
“That’s what I want to say. I know the guys count you in the season. But I try to show that I don’t care. I’m really convinced of the big goals of this club. I try to show the big picture to this club our fans.
“But that’s the life of the results, you have to win the games. I know the consequences when you don’t win the games. But I’m really convinced. From the first day, a little more frustrated. But I’m still convinced.”
The Europa League Reward Money could be ‘transformation’
Despite Amorim’s comments, United is likely to see a win in the Europa League as a huge opportunity to increase their finances for next summer.
United’s first summer broadcast under the Portuguese coach could define Ineos’s beginning of life at Old Trafford, and amorim is the first managerial appointment of era Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the club.
Recently, INNES has announced that 200 dismissals are expected in United this year, followed by 250 that occurred last year, in an attempt to reduce costs and in accordance with European consumption rules.
However, United will be a great financial incentive for the Champions League football football football football, said Kieran Maguire’s football finance expert.
Speaking Sky Sports News In mid -February, Maguire said: “If Manchester United win the Europa League, they automatically qualify for the Champions League next season and that would be transformation.
“We saw Arsenal posting their accounts – they increased their revenue for £ 150 million in the Champions League compared to the Europa League. If Manchester United can achieve this, it would be fantastic from their stop.
“Additional matches that arise as a result of a Swiss model would help them because it would help them sell out Old Trafford. They would potentially have some A-Lister who come to Old Trafford, and they could accommodate the price for commercial and catering boxes accordingly.
“Out of every £ 100 you earn from the Champions League, United earns only £ 23 to 23 pounds from the Europa League, this is their most important set of results that come to the end of this season.
“I think we have to be realistic that their chances are to qualify for the best four or five distant ones, so the Europa League should be a focus for the money that people of the club, as well as a focus for managers and players.”
Amorim defends the system and style
Amorim also defended his current 3-4-2-1 formation, which shared many analysts and supporters of United.
The Portuguese coach kept the same formation that served him well in Sporting Lisbon, despite the wide claims that the formation did not work in English football. Last month, Gary Neville described the lineup as “peculiar.”
“That’s very simple – the system is not a problem,” he told Amorim. “It’s a game mode. You can build three with two defenders and one midfielder.
“So that’s pretty simple. I don’t see such football. The problem with our team is not a system. We have a lot of problems, we try to work on these problems.
“Every system needs different characteristics. But I was really clear: I have one idea of playing football and no matter what, I won’t change that. And I’m not talking about the system, that’s the way I see football.”
