Bilbao, Spain – Ruben Amorim said that the winning of the Europa League will not even save Manchester United's season.
United Face Athletic Club in the semifinals on Thursday with a place in the final of the next month, which will also be held in Bilbao, in the management.
The creation of the trophy would hand over the amorim silver in its first year and earn a place in the Champions League.
But when the team was stopped for the lowest Premier League degree, Amorim warned that it still spends a bad campaign.
“We know that nothing will save our season, but that can be huge,” said Amorim.
“To win a trophy to get into the Champions League to play European games next year could change a lot of things in our club in summer.”
According to Amorim, the winning of the Europa League will be a “abbreviation” for the Champions League, whereby United is already guaranteed to end the 5 -member qualifications in the league.
It would also offer the Portuguese coach the opportunity to make more changes to its squad in the summer transfer window due to the financial thrust that goes hand in hand with the top club competition in Europe.
After Amorim won only six of his 23 Premier League games, it insists that the profit of the Europa League will not magically solve all of its problems.
“We have to change a lot of things and we have to be consistent,” he said.
“The Europa League will not change anything in our problems. We will give us the Champions League next year, more money to spend, but the problems are still there.

“We have to change the opinion of our fans with consistency, good decisions, good recruitment and good academy.
“We have to change that to bring our club back up. This is more of an abbreviation to go to the European games. Nothing more.
“The problems we have to solve in other ways with more time, and we are really clear.”
One of the problems of Amorim is a lack of goals in his team.
Only Everton, Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton have scored fewer goals in the Premier League. On Sunday, striker Rasmus Højlund only scored his second goal from 2025 in 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.
United is with a difficult task to break the athletic club that has the best defensive record in Spain and the best defensive record in Europe after only 10 goals.

“You are the best defense in Spain in the league,” said Amorim, who is hopeful to include Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt on the bank after having returned to training after an injury.
“We don't score too many goals, so it will be difficult for us.
“We know that at the beginning of the game, especially 20 or 30 minutes, they are really strong, very intense.
“They use the crowd to bring the game to another level. We are prepared for it, so we will face a very strong team.”
