Why The Europa League Is Important For Man United

Apr 10, 2025

Man United boss Ruben Amorim has highlighted the importance of the Europa League, amid their disappointing season so far.  

He says besides giving the team a huge morale boost, winning the competition will be their most realistic chance of competing in next season's Champions League.  

United would also benefit from the additional prize money, which will help strengthen their squad.  

He said this, as United resume their Europa League campaign tomorrow morning, when they travel to Lyon for their first leg quarterfinal tie.
