After 0-1! Manchester United coach refused to resign: two players made success or failure in the starting lineup, lost 100 million euros in the final

On May 22, the Europa League final was scheduled, and Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0, defeating their opponents four times in various competitions this season, winning the championship trophy. This is the second time that Tottenham won the European Championship after 41 years. That night they finally broke the championship drought.

Before this, Tottenham had been ridiculed for not having a championship for many years. Faced with this fact, they could only swallow their anger. Tottenham is not the hottest thing in everyone's eyes against Manchester United in this game. However, against Manchester United, who has been unbeaten in 14 games this season, Tottenham Hotspur is full of confidence because they have defeated their opponents three times in the Premier League and the British League Cup.

As expected, after the game began, although Tottenham was a little passive, they were not threatened much. After resisting Manchester United's three-pronged approach, Tottenham began to fight back, and thanks to Johnson's goal before the end of the half, Tottenham led 1-0. In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur united, their defense line was airtight, and they finally sealed their opponents and won the championship.

Losing to Tottenham in the final also means that Manchester United is destined to be empty this season. After the game, coach Amorin had already stated that if Manchester United thinks he is not suitable to continue coaching, he can let him leave, but he will not voluntarily resign.

Amorin's performance has been questioned since taking over Manchester United at the end of last year. He insisted on using the 343 formation, which left many players at a loss. Manchester United's performance was also greatly affected. This season they ranked 16th in the Premier League, setting a record low.

Originally, this Europa League final could save Manchester United and give them a ticket to the Champions League. Unexpectedly, in the final, Amorin started to make a move. He actually let Mount and Lukesha start, which was definitely a big defeat. This season, Lukesha spent most of his time recuperating, and as a result, he started to play as the left central defender in this final. Although Lukesha also played in this position in the previous few games, he obviously has not fully adapted. In fact, Manchester United's conceding goal has a certain relationship with Luke Shaw. It was precisely because he failed to limit Johnson that allowed his opponent to score.

As for Mount, he squeezed out Garnacho in this game, which was even more puzzled. Although Garnacho's shooting is unreliable, his ability to break through and involve his opponent's defense line should not be underestimated. Unfortunately, Amorin believes that Mount, who has performed well for two years, is more suitable for starting than Garnacho, but on the court, Mount almost disappeared completely. In the 71st minute of the second half, Garnacho replaced Mount and performed very actively on the left. If Amorin could make him start or appear earlier, he might help the team change the situation.

Because of losing to Tottenham, Manchester United missed the Champions League next season, and the Premier League giant also lost at least 100 million euros in revenue. After the reform of the Champions League, the broadcast share and various bonuses have increased significantly. Inter Milan reached the final this season and has received nearly 137 million yuan in bonuses. If Manchester United can participate in the Champions League, even if they are eliminated in the group stage next season, their broadcast share, game bonus and ticket revenue will definitely exceed 100 million euros. Unfortunately, after losing the final, Manchester United can't even play in the Europa League, and their income next season will be greatly affected, which will also affect the investment in the summer window. Although we don’t know whether Manchester United will let Amorin off the get out of class, no matter who Manchester United’s coach is in the summer, they will face a problem, that is, they may not have much money to buy people. Maybe next season, Manchester United will really be relegated in the Premier League!
