Ruben Amorim's tenure at Manchester United has been challenging, marked by a poor Premier League record. However, the team's 3-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final suggests a turning point. Despite Bilbao playing with ten men, the performance received praise, with commentators highlighting its excellence against a team known for its strong defense. Amorim himself acknowledged the unexpected nature of the win, suggesting it could be pivotal for his season and for United's European aspirations, contrasting with previous mixed results in domestic competitions.
"That was the best that I have seen Manchester United play under Ruben Amorim... They were excellent - granted they were playing against 10 men, but they still had to do a job."
"People will look at the result and say Athletic Bilbao were down to 10 men, but this has been a magnificent performance."
"I think best result because nobody expected this."
