Coach Amorim: "Man Utd winning the Europa League is not a big deal"

The Old Trafford outfit are currently 16th in the Premier League after a poor run of form. Last season, they qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup and will face Tottenham Hotspur, who are also 17th in the Premier League, in the final.

A title at this point would salvage a difficult season for both teams. However, coach Amorim said that for him, winning the Europa League is not an important issue.

"For Man Utd, just winning the Europa League is not a big deal. You can feel that here. The target must be the Premier League and the Champions League, and the Europa League is just a small step.

That's how I feel. Of course, winning the European title is important, but it's not enough. We still want to win more," coach Amorim said at a press conference on May 20.

In the Premier League, Man Utd have their worst record since the 1973-74 season, when they were relegated. The Manchester team has also gone 8 consecutive matches without a win in the domestic league, their worst since 1990, and has lost 18 matches in a season.

Under coach Amorim, they have only won 24 points from 26 games, with only 6 victories. However, the Europa League title will give them a bright spot at the end of the season.

"We need to win the Europa League for the fans and get a ticket to the Champions League next season. Man Utd have fallen into a dilemma. So this is the only chance for the "Red Devils" to start a new journey," said coach Amorim.

Man Utd need to be genuine Premier League and Champions League contenders, but they are still a long way off that, so winning the Europa League would be a necessary step to close the gap on their rivals.

Participating in the Champions League next season will also bring in at least 85 million pounds for the "Red Devils", giving the team more options in spending in the summer transfer window.

Coach Amorim's team will enter an important match with Tottenham Hotspur to win the Europa League championship at 2:00 a.m. on May 22 at San Mames Stadium (Spain).
