Since Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford, Man United under the management of INEOS with head Sir Jim Ratcliffe has implemented an extreme thrift policy. Many of the club's spending and personnel expenses have been cut, many of which were previously considered random and now no longer there.
Before the Europa League final in Bilbao, Spain against Tottenham, Man United's staff and logistics team were informed that they would not be provided with free tickets. This means that if the "Red Devils" want to come and watch the team in the Europa League final this season, from ticket sales to travel and accommodation, they will have to be self-sufficient.
Coaches in the coaching staff, medical staff and support staff will only be allowed to buy a maximum of 2 tickets. For players in the first team, they are only given a maximum of 2 free tickets to relatives and friends. For Man United players, spending more money to buy tickets is not a problem because the treatment they receive is very high. However, the staff and logistics team do not have such abundant economic conditions.
To solve this problem, captain Ruben Amorim decided to take the penalty shootout. The Portuguese tactician paid for the cost of the logistics team's about 30 members so they could take their family to Bilbao. Amorim wants this to be an event to express gratitude for the contributions of club staff, an indispensable element in Man United's Europa League campaign this season.
In February, Ruben Amorim admitted that the current cost cut has caused many difficulties in Man United's operations. Club members have been greatly affected after many cost cuts, many of whom have even lost their jobs.
"It's always difficult to see many friends and colleagues here lose their jobs. Therefore, we have to do everything we can to contribute to Man United. Standing up as a club, sometimes looking back, we have to see this as a result of many bad achievements before" - Amorim shared.
Back to the generous action of Ruben Amorim, this is not the first time a Man United coach has done that. The action of the 40 -year -old strategist is not merely paying the cost of watching the final, it is also a great spiritual encouragement. Amorim wants to cheer the "One United" movement, all the players, fans, staff of the team and solidarity in the match to decide the whole season.
Since moving to Man United, Amorim has had many words of encouragement for the collective spirit and his actions are commensurate with what he said. Amorim is betting everything on this final match. Therefore, just needing more encouragement, even the smallest from the logistics staff, it is like an act of giving Man United more strength to win.
