Reports indicate that Manchester United have no intention of dismissing head coach Ruben Amorim, even if the team fails to secure a win in the upcoming Europa League final.

Amorim, who was brought in last November to remedy the issues left by former manager Erik ten Hag, faces unexpected challenges with United currently sitting at 16th in the Premier League table. However, there’s still hope for redemption as they prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final, which could secure them a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Amorim has openly expressed his embarrassment over the club’s current predicament and has hinted at a possible departure this summer. He emphasized the need for change within United, suggesting that either improvements be made or someone else should step in to tackle the ongoing problems.

United officials, for their part, have no interest in parting ways with Amorim. The Guardian state those responsible for making such decisions, are firmly behind the current boss and recognise the need to sign players better-suited to his preferred tactical system.

Amorim has voiced concerns about the current squad’s ability to play in his 3-4-2-1 formation and United are sympathetic to the issue. Even if they fail to win the Europa League and bank the riches that come with Champions League qualification, they will endeavour to build a squad capable of meeting Amorim’s demands.

Just who United end up signing will depend on their final budget. Plans are already in place to trigger the £62.5m release clause of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha – a move which expected to go through regardless of the conclusion to United’s European campaign.

Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, whose contract includes a £30m release clause, is another key target, while Amorim is also thought to want upgrades in goal and at wing-back.

Futher attacking signings could be pursued if United can raise funds through player sales. The likes of Southampton’s Tyler Dibling, speculatively valued at £100m, could be targeted if fringe players like Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho can be sold.
