It sound incredible, but Manchester United have the easiest task of all European teams. The Red Devils, who are playing their worst ever Premier League season are only 180 minutes away from a possible Champions League participation. They need to win the Europa League first, but unlike all other European participants, they have the most probably score – 3:0 from the first game. Sure, the penalty (along with the red card to Athletic Bilbao) was suspicious, but the game ended with this result and United have a fantastic opportunity to reach Europa League finals. But, it doesn’t mean that coach Ruben Amorim is confident and without worries.’We are not ready to compete in the Champions League’After suffering another Premier League defeat over the weekend (4-3 in Brentford), the Red Devils’ coach wants his players to be on alert and fully concentrated. Amorim admitted that his team can sometimes ‘lose their mind’ and wants them to try to win it tomorrow.“If you look at our team, we cannot say today what is going to happen. Some teams, the story is going to be like this and control the narrative – we cannot do that. I feel we need to score to go to the next round. Then we use Brentford, we are near a draw then we suffer a goal and another one. We will have to suffer a bit to go to the final, and we are ready to suffer. Sometimes during the game we are one team and then we lose our mind a little bit. If you look at our season, anything is possible. We have to understand one goal can change anything: the momentum of the game, one sending-off, you saw it a week ago. We are fighting to win the game. We are thinking about winning the game” he said.Nottingham Forest ❌Man City 🤝Newcastle ❌Wolves ❌Bournemouth 🤝Brentford ❌🆕Manchester United now go 𝙎𝙄𝙓 Premier League games without a win for the first time in a decade 🤯📉 pic.twitter.com/fxEwjEttBj— Football Factly (@FootballFactly) May 4, 2025 Former Sporting coach was honest enough to access his input on Mancherster United‘s results.“For me, in that moment and you look at Premier League, we are the worst team since I arrived in terms of results. That is my idea. In the end of the season, we can be the worst team in Premier League history with a European title. So we will not change anything. We know that this season was disappointing. Nothing is going to change, in that moment I have to think a bit more but I felt that. I still feel that this season was the worst in the last 50 years“ said the Portuguese.The youngest United team loses in a seven goals thrillerAfter a lucky penalty in the first game, United is ‘lucky duck‘ again, as Bilbao arrived in the UK without their to wingers, Williams brothers, Inaki and Nico. Still, Amorim believes that Athletic is equally dangerous and admitted he didn‘t watch the first game while he was preparing for tomorrow.“I watched the first 30 minutes and I forget the rest because you cannot prepare the game 11 against 10. I felt that again they were really intense, but most of the opportunities were our fault. We lost the possession, it is hard to find some space. For us it is the top team of Athletic. I understand it is hard to play without key players but for us it doesn’t matter. We need to go to the game and try to win it“ he said.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE – SEMI-FINALSThursday22:00: (3.00) Bodo (3.50) Tottenham (2.30)22:00: (2.10) Man.Utd.
