"No Panic at Old Trafford": Manchester United Keep Faith in Ruben Amorim Despite Europa League Final Defeat
In a surprising show of stability rarely seen in modern football, Manchester United have opted to stand firmly behind manager Ruben Amorim, despite their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday night in Bilbao.
According to Sky Sports, United’s board is committed to Amorim’s long-term vision and do not see the defeat — or the loss of an automatic Champions League spot — as a reason to panic.
🗣️ “I Will Leave Tomorrow… If They Want Me To”
Amorim, who joined United in November 2024 to replace Erik ten Hag, made a bold statement after the final:
“If the board and the fans no longer want me, I will leave the next day — no compensation needed.”
That level of accountability has struck a chord with some fans, even as others question the trajectory of a club that, under Amorim, has dropped from 13th to 17th, narrowly avoiding relegation.
💬 Opinion: Courage or Complacency?
Let’s be honest — Manchester United are a shadow of their former self, and the optics of a 17th-place Premier League finish paired with a fourth-straight trophyless season would normally trigger chaos at any big club.
But United’s board choosing to back Amorim could be a rare breath of fresh air in a game where managers are tossed aside like yesterday’s kits. Amorim inherited a fractured squad mid-season and brought them to a European final. That counts for something.
Patience may not win you headlines, but it might just build the foundation for a new era at Old Trafford. Give Amorim the tools, the time, and a proper pre-season — then judge.
