Ruben Amorim says Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro might get minutes in tomorrow’s Europa League final against Spurs in Bilbao.
“They recovered quite well. They pushed. Of course, we respect the feeling of the player but we pushed a little bit. They can help us win the game.
“De Ligt is out.”
Asked whether he thought winning tomorrow will signal a new future for himself, Amorim replied:
“A new future for me, I think, is not the case. People will look at our team in a different way, as winning a European title is really important. Nothing is going to change our season, but winning a European title can help us have that feeling to build a future.”
The next question was about whether winning would mean saving jobs at Old Trafford.
“Again, I don’t think that is the case;” he replied.
“We are doing things that we need to do. Our club can have revenues without Champions League. It is a big brand. I am always playing for more than myself. I am coaching for my players, my staff and especially our fans.”
The boss was then asked whether he felt United had an advantage having played a strong team against Chelsea on Friday.
“The advantage, I don’t know,” Amorim responded. “You have to see the context. I don’t know the context of Tottenham. We rested some players after Bilbao because we were afraid of some injuries.
“Five days before the final, I thought the best thing to prepare the final was to give the players the chance to play. It was really clear that we need to compete. I felt that against Chelsea. When we are focused and play our game, we can control any game in any place.”
Amorim was joined by Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire at the presser. Their comments can be read in a separate article, here on The Peoples Person.
