Man Utd end season without title, coach Amorim ready to leave

After a disappointing 0-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final on the morning of May 22, Man Utd officially ended the 2024-25 season without any titles. This means the "Red Devils" will not be able to participate in the European Cup next season.

Facing criticism after the failures, coach Amorim still believes that he is the most suitable person to lead Man Utd, as long as the coaching staff and fans have faith.

"I have nothing to show everyone right now, I hope everyone will always support and trust me. If the team management and fans feel that I am not the right person for the position of coach, I will leave the next day without any compensation. But I will not give up.

"I'm still really confident in my job and I wouldn't change anything in the way I do things. I've always been really honest. But not going to talk about the future, tonight we need to face the pain of losing this game," coach Amorim said in a press conference after the match ended.

In this match, Man Utd was the team that controlled the ball better in the first half, but showed a lack of sharpness in the decisive situation. Opportunities from Garnacho and Luke Shaw were both excellently saved by Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario.

The "Red Devils" then gave up all the possession of the game to their opponents. However, speaking at the press conference after the match, coach Amorim still said that Man Utd was the better team.

"It's clear that we were the better team, but we couldn't score. The players tried their best to win and I think we played better than our opponents," said coach Amorim.

Although he has declared that he will not resign, coach Amorim is ready to leave the coaching position at any time if the team requests. This is essentially a move to maintain the Portuguese strategist's self-esteem.

Even if coach Amorim intends to leave, Man Utd Chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe is said to find a way to convince him to stay. Because the British billionaire highly appreciates the team's capacity and long-term development potential under coach Amorim.
