Alan Shearer has hit back at Ruben Amorim's claim that Manchester United's lack of European football next season could be an 'advantage.'

After United finished a worst-ever 15th in the Premier League and lost to Spurs in the Europa League Final, Amorim said from United's postseason tour in Malaysia that missing out on the Champions League could allow the club to better prepare for games.

However, Shearer chafed at the suggestion and said 'one small advantage' was overpowered by 'eight or nine disadvantages' to missing out on Europe.
