Frustrated at the top of the Europa League, coach Ruben Amorim made a lot of bombshell remarks with his `grandfather's move.'

Manchester United remained in second place on the 22nd (Korea time) with a 0-1 defeat in the 2024-2025 Europa League final against English Premier League rival Tottenham at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain. Manchester United overwhelmed Tottenham in all figures, including 16 to 3 shooting, 6 to 1 effective shooting, and 73 to 27 ball possession. However, Manchester United failed to open the goal in the end.

Tottenham lifted the trophy for the first time in 17 years since reaching the top of the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. In the case of the European competition, it was the first time in 41 years since winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.




Son Heung-min received his first victory toast in 15 seasons since his debut in the European first team. Tottenham's winning drought was finally cut off with the 'captain' of the team. He nestled in Tottenham in August 2015. Ten years have passed. He was frustrated in the European Champions League (UCL) final in the 2018-2019 season and the League Cup final in the 2020-2021 season. This season's tears were painted with joy.

Amorim took the helm of Manchester United in November last year, replacing Erik ten Hag. His 18th loss in the EPL came in 16th place (39 points). It is the first time in 51 years that Manchester United has lost 18 games in a season since the 1973-1974 season when it was in the Football League. The only teams below Manchester United are Tottenham (38 points), ranked 17th in the Europa League final, Leicester City (25 points), Ipswich Town (22 points), and Southampton (12 points).

Amorim was in despair. He made a `bomb remark' that he would leave his future to the club. I hit Bae Soo-jin saying I don't need a penalty.




Manager Amorim said "At this moment, I will not be here to defend myself. It's not my style, it's what I can do. "It's really hard. There is nothing to show the fans, and 'I can't even say, 'I'm going to improve because of this, I have this problem'

And "I'm always open. If the board and fans don't think I'm the right person, I'll leave Manchester United the next day without any discussion of compensation.

Of course, he didn't forget to say that he wouldn't leave if he was trusted again. Director Amorim said "I'm not quitting. I'm really confident in my work. I won't change anything from what I do.'




Amorim's contract period is until 2027. There have been reports that Manchester United leaders will continue to support manager Amorim even if they do not win the Europa League final.
