LOADED AMO

Let's silence prophets of doom says United boss

- 

RUBEN AMORIM knows the only way he and his Manchester United players can change negative views of them is by winning games starting tonight.

United must overcome Real Sociedad in the Europa League at Old Trafford to keep their campaign alive, as well as their hopes of European football next season.

With United down in 14th place in the Premier League and having exited both domestic cups, the Europa League is their last shot at glory this season with this last-16 tie evenly poised.

Against that backdrop, Amorim underlined the importance of winning tonight to keep United’s season going and prove co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe wrong.

Ratcliffe claimed some of United's squad are “overpaid and not good enough”, with Amorim determined to change that harsh perception.
