Ruben Amorim: Belief in Winning Europa League More Valuable Than Financial Gain

Posted on May 09, 2025

Following Manchester United's commanding 4-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao, resulting in a 7-1 aggregate win, head coach Ruben Amorim emphasized the significance of belief in their pursuit of the Europa League title. Amorim stated that the confidence derived from winning the tournament is more important than any financial rewards associated with it.

United's triumph sets up an all-English final against Tottenham, and Amorim highlighted that clinching the Europa League would not only bring a title but also foster a winning mentality within the team. He noted, "The money is not the most important thing," stressing that the feeling of achieving success is what truly matters for the players and their supporters.

Despite a shaky start to the second leg, where United found themselves trailing 1-0, they rallied late in the match with goals from Mason Mount, Casemiro, and Rasmus Hojlund. Amorim acknowledged the mixed performance of his team, admitting that he could not predict which version of the squad would show up on any given day. The victory, however, reinforces the belief that the team can produce strong performances when it matters most.

Mason Mount's contribution was particularly noteworthy, as he scored two crucial goals, including an impressive long-range effort that showcased his talent and determination to overcome earlier challenges this season. Amorim praised Mount's efforts, noting the positive impact of his performance on the team's morale.

As United prepares for the final, Amorim recognizes the high stakes involved, not just for the trophy but also for securing a place in the Champions League next season, which would significantly boost the club’s finances. The upcoming match against Tottenham is poised to be a pivotal moment for both clubs as they aim to shift the narrative of their respective seasons.
