Manchester United experienced a nightmare trough in the 2024-25 season. For the first time in the Premier League era, they may fall out of the top ten, and they were also eliminated early in the League Cup and FA Cup. Now, advancing to the semi-finals of the Europa League has become one of the few bright spots in Manchester United's season, but coach Amorim believes that even if they win the championship in the end, they can't really "save" this season.

The Portuguese coach said in an interview: "Everyone knows that this means a lot to our season. Nothing can really 'save' this season, but if we can win the championship, it will be very important. Winning a trophy and qualifying for the Champions League next season can change a lot of things, even including this summer's transfer plan."

Manchester United staged an epic comeback in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals. Although they wasted a two-goal lead in the first half against Lyon and were dragged into overtime, where they fell behind by two goals, with six minutes left in the game, Bruno Fernandes, Kobe Bryant and Harry Maguire scored three goals in a row, and they fought back and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Amorim's team will face Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final on Thursday, with the second leg to be played at home a week later.
