Amorim says team not ready to compete in both Premier League and Champions League

In an ups-and-downs game, Manchester United lost 3-4 to Brentford away, suffering their 16th league defeat of the season, which is their most defeats in a single season in the English top league in 35 years. This defeat also meant that the "Red Devils" were destined to fail to enter the top ten in the Premier League in the standings.

Despite this, if they can win the Europa League, they still have a chance to catch the "last train" to the Champions League next season. However, coach Ruben Amorim expressed concerns about the team's current dual competitiveness.

Amorim said in an interview after the game: "We are not ready to be competitive in the Premier League and the Champions League at the same time. We are very clear about this. But we must strive to win the Europa League, bring some rewards to the fans, and qualify for the Champions League next season."

In this game, Amorim made a bold rotation, making as many as eight personnel adjustments, and sent out one of the third youngest starting lineups in Premier League history. He obviously focused on the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday. With a 3-0 lead in the first leg, the prospects of advancing are bright.

Amorim said: "This is indeed a very realistic dilemma. If we win the Europa League, we must take into account both the Premier League and the Champions League in the new season, which means that the team needs to make great improvements in the summer. Now, our task is to win this game."
