Amorim announced that Manchester United will give up the Premier League to attack the Europa League! Follow Mu Shuai's example and play the league with youth players

After a hard-fought 5-4 comeback to eliminate Lyon, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim made it clear that he would give up the Premier League and go all out to win the Europa League! Only a win over Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals and a win over Tottenham or Bodø in the final will give the Reds qualification for the Champions League next season, otherwise they will miss out on European competition altogether. Amorim made it clear after the game: "We will have to risk using children in the Premier League because the team has to concentrate on playing well in the Europa League."

United have dropped to 14th place in the Premier League, 10 points clear of 10th-placed Brighton, and the best outcome could be to catch 11th-placed Brentford. The Red Devils now have just 38 points, while Brentford have 43, a five-point gap between the two sides.

However, United are only three points clear of West Ham United in 17th place, so it is entirely possible that they will hit rock bottom. The team will host Wolves on Sunday, who have 35 points on their side, and a win over the Red Devils would see the two teams level on points, but United have a goal difference advantage (-7 to -14) and will not be overtaken as long as they do not lose by four goals or more.

'The sound of the last two goals was wonderful and that's something we should keep. "We got to the semi-finals but you have to win, and if you get to the last four and you don't win, it's useless. Now, we have to focus on the next round and try to win the game."

Commenting on United's choice between the Europa League and the Premier League, Amorim was clear: "This game is why we love football so much, and all the frustrations, frustrations, disappointments that the coach has had in a season like this have become valuable because of this moment. However, once the game is over and you calm down, you remember that we have another league game on Sunday. We have to analyse whether the players are fit for the game because we have to focus on the Europa League."

There was a short break between Friday and Sunday, and veterans like Harry Maguire and Casemiro, who are over 30 years old and played 120 minutes in the Europa League, may need to rest. Otherwise, last week's injury season reimbursement for Zirkze is a warning sign.

However, Amorim hopes this thrilling Europa League comeback can boost the morale of the team. 'I think in a season like this, in an environment like this, moments like this can help a lot of players. This creates a close bond between fans and players, allowing us to forget for a moment that we are having a bad season. It feels good today, but tomorrow we need to start preparing again. We need to focus on the next game, focus on the players and see if they can still play. Some players may have to take risks on the pitch, but you also know that the most important task for everyone is obvious, and that is the Europa League.'

Amorim has made it clear that the ability of Manchester United's players to play against each other is now more suited to European competition than to the Premier League. "We still have a lot to improve, but at least we have the spirit!" 'The quality of the coach is reflected in the league, you may be doing well in Europe, but the real quality of the team is reflected in the league results and we are not doing well. You have to face reality and you can see that there are a lot of elements that are missing in our squad. When we play against European teams, you can feel that we are better at dealing with physical confrontations; But in the Premier League, we had a lot of difficulties."

Finally, the United boss told the fans in advance that he would be playing more young players in the league, which would naturally affect the result. Like Jose Mourinho in 2016/17, he gave up the race for top four in the final stages of the tournament and even made an all-academy start in the final round of the Premier League, with United finishing sixth but winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League.

'Moments like these can change a lot of things, sometimes we only focus on the tactical level and the physical side, but this kind of win can change the mentality of the players a lot. We have to really focus on the Europa League and sometimes even take the risk of getting young players in the Premier League, and the fans have to understand.'
