Former Manchester United first-team coach Rene Meulensteen insists winning the Europa League wouldn’t make up for a Premier League campaign that has been ‘an utter disaster from start to finish’.
United face Tottenham in the final in Bilbao next week hoping to end a wretched season with a trophy that would also secure Champions League qualification worth £100million.
But Meulensteen doesn’t believe that would paper over the cracks in United’s domestic form that could see Ruben Amorim’s side finish one place above the relegation zone.
The 61-year-old Dutch coach claims the Europa League has ‘saved’ Amorim, and took aim at United’s stars by saying Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro, Harry Maguire and Christian Eriksen aren’t good enough to play for the club.
