Ruben Amorim has now outlined Man United’s plan to navigate the final stretch before the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday.
It has not gone according to plan for Manchester United’s new boss, Ruben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag earlier this season.
Since Amorim took charge of United, results have continued to nosedive, with the Red Devils now languishing in 16th place in the Premier League after losing 18 matches.
The Portuguese coach still has a chance to rescue what has been a dismal 2024/25 campaign, with a Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on the horizon this coming Wednesday.

Ruben Amorim outlines Europa League final preparation for Manchester United vs Tottenham
Spurs await in Spain at the San Mames Stadium, and if United are to win silverware, they will need to beat the Lilywhites for the first time this season.
In what appeared to be a dress rehearsal for the final, Amorim fielded a full-strength side against Chelsea, but Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 defeat.
Now, turning his full attention to the final, the United manager has revealed the plan for the next few days as he prepares to rally his players for one last shot at redemption.

Speaking to the club’s official channel, Amorim said: “It is just two days to rest, two days to prepare, and one game to give everything that we have. With our fans, with our families, with all the staff, to win a trophy.”
While Man United will need to use the next two days to rest after a tough game away to Chelsea, the vast majority of Tottenham’s first-choice XI did not start against Aston Villa. In fact, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, and Micky Van de Ven have not played for over a week.
Ange Postecoglou has already revealed Tottenham’s preparation plans for the Europa League final, with the Lilywhites training on Sunday while Man United rest.

Tottenham Hotspur are also desperate to lift silverware, and club captain Heung-min Son has not hidden just how much the upcoming final means to him, the squad, and the supporters.
He said: “Every match is special to me and holds the same value. But this one feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to give it my full focus and prepare both mentally and physically for it. This time, I do not want to have any regrets.
“Especially for the fans who want this more than I do—I want to bring them joy. When I return to Korea after the season, I want to give both Korean fans and Spurs fans the best gift possible: a big smile.”
