Man United are 16th in the Premier League after round 36 with 39 points. Despite winning the remaining 2 matches, the Old Trafford team will not be able to end the season in a position higher than 13.
Last season, the "Red Devils" finished 8th, the worst in the Premier League era. This season, things will be much worse.
Last weekend's 0-2 loss to West Ham at Old Trafford was Man United's 17th defeat in 36 games this season.
Although everyone understands that the players' whole mind is now turned to the Europa League final, that cannot be an excuse for their poor form in the Premier League.
In the post-match press conference, Ruben Amorim gave a "suggestion" to the club's board. The Portuguese coach shared that if Man United's performance cannot improve next season, the team should look for a new coach.
Since arriving at Old Trafford, Amorim has repeatedly made statements directly looking at the current situation of The Red Devils. Fans understand that this statement of the 40-year-old coach is not a joke.
Although he gave such a very manly view, perhaps Amorim reconsidered. This is the time to focus on the Europa League final with a determination to win, not the time to predict a negative prospect in the next stage. Therefore, at the press conference before the match against Chelsea, Ruben Amorim gave an explanation.
"Since I arrived here, I have always attached importance to setting a standard. I can't sit still and see the team have such poor results. It's impossible to watch clubs get high and low in the Premier League and no one says anything, no one speaks up to take responsibility.
I have a very clear idea of what I want to do. I understand what the problem is with the team. So I never give up.
What I want to say is simply that everyone must try to improve. In the near future, the whole team must change. Otherwise, they (the board of directors) will replace us. That is very normal" - Ruben Amorim shared.
The Champions League ticket will now be a lifeline for Man United to escape the gloom of a "worst season in history".
However, although this is true, Man United may not be strong enough to play at least 2 matches/week in the coming season. The reality this season also proves that they do not have enough quantity and quality of personnel to meet that.
"The coaching staff will need more time with the players. There are many things to reorganize at Carrington at the moment. Therefore, we need a strategy, not just to worry about handling each match.
The reality this season shows that Man United need a better squad if they want to win both in Europe and in the Premier League. Just hearing that makes it extremely difficult, that's how I feel" - Amorim shared.
