Ruben Amorim says that winning the Europa League will not “save” Manchester United’s season as the problems at the club run too deep.
Speaking before the semi-final first leg against Athletic Bilbao, United’s head coach said that “something more in the core of our club” needs to change to bring about success.
“Everybody knows it’s really important for our season,” Amorim said. Winning the competition brings the huge benefit of qualifying for the Champions League as well as a financial boon.
However, Amorim added: “We know nothing is going to save our season but this can be huge, winning a trophy, get in the Champions League to play European games next year could change a lot of things in our club in the summer.
