Series of questions for MU

The 0-1 defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final on May 22 not only ended Manchester United's worst season since 1974, but also opened up a series of big questions for the future of both coach Ruben Amorim and key players such as Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes.

This has been a truly disastrous season for Manchester United. The "Theatre of Dreams" is now in crisis and the biggest question now is whether the "Red Devils" will be reborn or continue to decline?

Garnacho disgruntled and ready to leave? Garnacho's benching in the final was the final straw. The Argentine winger had started all six of the previous knockout games, but had to wait until the 71st minute to be brought on. He was visibly upset after the match, saying that "I played every round, only to play 20 minutes in the final".

Fernandes , MU keep or sell? The disappointing performance in the final cannot cover up Fernandes' leadership role at MU. But with the interest from Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia), plus the fact that he is about to turn 31 and has only 2 years left on his contract, this could be the right time for MU to liquidate. Fernandes himself did not deny the possibility of parting ways: "If the club thinks it is time to part ways, I will respect that decision."

A forgotten gem? One of the academy's brightest prospects is slowly fading. Mainoo was only brought on in injury time in the final, a puzzling decision considering he scored the equaliser in the quarter-final against Lyon. Still only 19, Mainoo feels he is no longer being used and the possibility of a move away from Old Trafford to further his career is real.

Fragile confidence? Amorim has won just six of his 26 Premier League games since taking charge, an alarming tally for a manager personally recruited by billionaire Jim Ratcliffe. After missing out on Champions League qualification and seeing his team drop to 17th place, the pressure on Amorim is immense. He has pledged to leave if results don't improve, but the high compensation package and Ratcliffe's confidence could see him stay until at least the summer transfer window.

What is the future for United? Failure to qualify for the Champions League has cost United £100m and forced them to reduce their transfer budget. Potential deals such as Liam Delap could be affected, as United would not have the money to spend more than £60m on Matheus Cunha. Worse, further staff cuts are likely, meaning many staff will lose their jobs.

However, in the crisis, there is still a glimmer of opportunity for MU. Without participating in the European Cup, Amorim will have time to focus on training the team. Leicester City once won the Premier League thanks to that. Can MU do the same?
