On Wednesday night, United endured one of their most painful losses of the season, falling 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the final at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao. ..Continue Reading
Both clubs entered the match knowing that a win would secure Champions League qualification, while defeat could bring serious long-term repercussions.
With immense pressure on Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou and United manager Amorim, there was speculation that failure to deliver the Europa League trophy might cost them their jobs.
Now, in the aftermath of the game, United have reached a decision regarding Amorim’s tenure.
Given their disastrous season—finishing 16th or 17th in the Premier League and failing to claim any silverware—many expected United to part ways with their manager.
However, a report from *The Times* before the final stated that the club had already resolved to keep Amorim, regardless of the result in Bilbao.
Unless Amorim chooses to resign, he is expected to remain in charge next season, with no immediate threat to his position.
Even if he considers leaving this summer, reports suggest that INEOS chairman and United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe would attempt to persuade him to stay, as he holds him in high regard.
Since his appointment in November, Amorim has managed only six league wins, with six draws and 13 losses, making it United’s worst Premier League season since the league’s inception in 1992.
United will wrap up their season with a home fixture against Aston Villa, a game that, should they lose, could see them finish on 39 points—a total that has been enough for relegation in three previous Premier League campaigns.
