MANCHESTER United manager Rúben Amorim is running out of excuses as he braces for a rebuild he hopes will result in a squad capable of delivering the success he enjoyed playing with his preferred formation at Sporting CP.

- ROWAN CALLAGHAN

United have lurched from one disaster to the next under the Portuguese manager, who led them to a dismal 15th-place finish in the league. He even threatened to walk away if the United hierarchy wanted him to go, after the club lost last week’s Europa League final against Tottenham — and with it, the opportunity to sneak into the Champions League through the back door.

He later backtracked. At his pre-match press conference on Saturday, Amorim insisted that this season's mistakes would not be repeated next term.

“In this moment, I am really glad we arrived six months before we started a new season,” said the United boss.
