Amorim to give Man Utd fans ‘apology’ for poor season

After their final Premier League game against Aston Villa, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is ready to apologize to the club’s fans at Old Trafford.

On Sunday, the Old Trafford side’s grueling campaign will come to an end against Unai Emery’s hopefuls for Champions League qualification.

With Tottenham’s defeat in the Europa League final, United lost all of their chances of making it to the most prestigious competition in European football.

Their worst domestic campaign since the 1973-1974 relegation season, which added to the misery, will not play football in Europe again next season for the second time since 1990, adding to that disappointment.

The former Sporting boss, who is 40, has not yet decided what to say in his end-of-season address, but he said: “It will be an apology, I think that’s clear, I don’t have time for an explanation.

I’ll be open and honest with the fans, saying what’s on my mind, and particularly my heart.

Given the widespread unease at owners, the Glazer family, and the job cuts initiated by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, it won’t be easy to do so.

United’s supporters will stage a second pre-game demonstration at Old Trafford to express their opposition to the club’s management.

However, according to officials, the majority of supporters agree with Amorim’s assessment that he is the right man to start a revival, and the coach is happy to speak with them.

He continued, “It’s tradition, and we have to face it,” during the post-game lap of appreciation. If we don’t do that, we will make the biggest mistake.
