Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has warned Ruben Amorim the club won't accept another season of failure.

United failed to win silverware this season or even secure European qualification, following one of the worst campaigns in the club's proud history.

Amorim's men finished 15th in the table and blew a Champions League place and £100m jackpot with defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final.

Amorim will look to strengthen his squad this summer, and has already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5m deal. And Berrada insists club bosses expect results to make a significant improvement next season.

Speaking following the release of the club's latest financial results, Berrada said: "We were proud to reach the final of the UEFA Europa League.

"But ultimately, we were disappointed to finish as runner-up in Bilbao.

"We had a difficult season in the Premier League, which we all know fell below our standards - and we have a clear expectation of improvement next season."

Berrada told shareholders United remain determined to provide new world class facilities for the manager and players, including a new state-of-the-art stadium.

He added: "We remain focused on infrastructure, with the redevelopment of our Carrington Training Complex continuing and on track, which will be the heart of our club, providing world class facilities for all our teams and our staff.

"We have also announced our aspiration to pursue a new 100,000 seat stadium, sitting at the heart of the regeneration of the Old Trafford area, which would be a catalyst for growth and investment in our local community.
