Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's head coach, cautioned his team against complacency ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Club. Despite the team's poor Premier League standing and a 3-0 first-leg lead, he urged them to remain focused and acknowledge the unpredictable nature of football. Amorim admitted that the squad has performed poorly domestically since his takeover, and winning the Europa League might not compensate for their disappointing season. He stressed the importance of determination and staying in control during the match to secure victory.
Amorim emphasized that despite the significant lead in the Europa League, Manchester United must maintain focus and not underestimate their opponents in the return leg.
He stated, "We will have to suffer a bit to go to the final, and we are ready to suffer," stressing the need for determination amid their troubled domestic performance.
Amorim acknowledged, "For me, in that moment and you look at Premier League, we are the worst team since I arrived in terms of results," reflecting on the challenges faced.
He concluded, "We know that this season was disappointing, but winning the Europa League could eclipse some of the failures in the Premier League."
