Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, defended the decision to field the club's youngest ever Premier League lineup during a 4-3 defeat to Brentford. With a focus on their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao, Amorim stated that resting senior players was necessary despite suffering a record 16th league defeat, leaving United in 15th place. He emphasized the need for the team to be competitive in multiple competitions and acknowledged the current readiness issues for both league and Champions League play. Midfielder Mason Mount echoed the sentiment that winning the Europa League is the team's primary objective.
At this moment we are losing games in the Premier League. We are fighting for the Europa League and Thursday is the most important game for us.
We need to win and we need to win this competition to give something to our fans.
