Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, has expressed concerns about the possibility of new injuries in his squad as they approach the Europa League final. The 40-year-old coach admitted that he is worried about his players’ fitness ahead of the match against Tottenham.
No Room for Complacency After Reaching Final
Despite securing a spot in the final, Amorim warned his players that they haven’t won anything yet. United is set to face Tottenham in an all-English final in Bilbao, and Amorim reminded his team that their journey isn’t over. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and not getting ahead of themselves.
Tottenham and United Looking for Redemption
Tottenham secured their place in the final with a 2-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt in Norway, while United had to fight back from a 1-0 deficit to win 4-1. Both teams have had difficult seasons but now have the chance to finish strong with a trophy and a spot in the Champions League.
Amorim Stresses the Importance of Staying Injury-Free
“I’m worried about the next game and trying to avoid injuries before the final,” Amorim said. He added that if they don’t win, the efforts so far won’t matter. For him, the focus is on ensuring that his squad is at full strength for the match against Tottenham.
Focusing on Winning the Big Final
Amorim also noted the pressure on both him and Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, given the difficult seasons both teams have had. He acknowledged that one of them will come out as the winner, and it’s going to be a big final. Amorim’s goal is to ensure that his team is prepared to take home the victory.
