Victory in the Europa League final would not be enough to redeem Manchester United's disappointing season, manager Ruben Amorim said on Tuesday.
The once mighty United are a lowly 16th in the Premier League, making Wednesday's final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao their only chance to secure a spot in next season's Champions League.
"Maybe people will look at our team in a different way because winning a European title is really important. It would help us to finish the season on a good note. But nothing is going to change our season. Players know it, the staff knows, the fans know, everybody knows," said Amorim.
"Winning a European title can help us to have that feeling that can help us to build for the future, but that's it. I don't think we are playing for more than winning the title.
"Manchester United can survive financially without playing the Champions League. We have a lot of fans around the world, we are a big international brand. We have to focus on the project and doing things the right way."
