RUBEN AMORIM told fans "the good days are coming' as Manchester United's head coach apologised for a wretched campaign during an impassioned end-of-season address.

Wednesday's Europa League final defeat to fellow Premier League strugglers Tottenham capped the Red Devils' worst top-flight campaign since relegation in 1973-74.

United ended 15th in the standings after yesterday's 2-0 win against Champions League-chasing Aston Villa, which came thanks to Amad Diallo’s header and a penalty from departing Christian Eriksen and was aided by a controversial disallowed goal for Villa.

Amorim took to the field with his players shortly after the whistle to address the Old Trafford crowd.

"I want to apologise for this season," said the head coach, who succeeded Erik ten Hag in November. "I know you are really disappointed with me and with the team.

"The second thing I want to say is thank you. We are very grateful for your support during the season and I know that was really hard.
