Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has claimed there are more important things than winning the Europa League this season.
Ruben Amorim has made a surprising admission ahead of his team’s Europa League last-16 tie against Real Sociedad.
Despite the competition representing the Red Devils’ last chance at silverware this season, Amorim insists that trophy success is not his top priority.
With United currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, winning the Europa League would not only bring a coveted trophy but also secure Champions League qualification for next season.
However, the Portuguese tactician is taking a long-term view, focusing on rebuilding the team rather than short-term gains.

“Of course, we lost last week to Fulham in the FA Cup, so people are looking at this Europa League as the unique competition we can win, also the connection with winning the Europa League with Champions League.
But to tell you the truth, I think we have bigger things to think about.
I know it’s strange to say that, but it’s something we’re trying to build here that is going to be more important than winning a cup in this moment.
I know the responsibility we have to fight for every trophy, but in this moment, we’re trying to build something that will last more than any trophy this season.”
