Ruben Amorim says Manchester United need to accept criticism over their Premier League form but insists he must take a risk and prioritise the Europa League
Manchester United have booked their place in the Europa League final after beating Athletic Bilbao 7-1 on aggregate.
However, their European form has been at odds with the Premier League, with United’s winless run stretching to almost two months, leading Roy Keane to brand their league form “embarrassing”. Amorim
has acknowledged the criticism United have faced but insists he has had no choice but to prioritise the Europa League.
“We tried to do our best but I agree we can do better,” Amorim said.
“I have nothing to say about the criticism because we deserve it. If we can’t take all the criticism in a season like this then I think we have chosen the wrong profession. I realise that and I agree with all the criticism. “สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่” I have nothing to say about the criticism because we deserve it.

We have to be smart and we have to take risks. We have to take a lot of criticism from everyone because the standards of Roy Keane and those guys are so high. But I have to make a decision.”
United face West Ham and Chelsea before the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on May 21. Injuries ruled out Noussair Mazrawi
and Harry Maguire out with doubts over the Hammers, but the Portuguese boss said he would not keep his players until the final. “Sometimes it
‘s better to play. What I would protect are the players who are injured. We want to fight in the Premier League as well. Bruno has no problem with an injury but Harry has, so we have to manage them well. But they will play and it’s better to play than to sit and watch. “We won’t train as much.
These games will give them a chance to fight for a place in the final. I think we made some mistakes in Brentford. “
I felt some players were thinking about Bilbao so we have to manage them well. But we have to be aware that we are Man United and we have to win games and that includes the Premier League. “
We have to use every game to improve our performance, even to prepare for the final, especially to prepare for the future.”
