Tottenham 1-0 Man UTD: What next to Ruben Amorim after the final defeat of the Europa League?

Last week when Amorim said: “We have to be brave,” he said the whole club.

But what are the details?

Rasmus Hojlund was described by someone as a “championship player” who was part of the changing room in the last few days of Sir Alex Ferguson. It is a brutal takedown. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it is wrong.

Mason Mount spoke eloquent in building the game, but was anonymous in northern Spain. Amad Diallo threatened, but his end product was missing. There was a huge luck for Tottenham’s winners. But as soon as they had the lead, they never really looked like they were losing it.

“I’m always honest with you,” said Amorim. “Tonight we have to deal with the pain of losing this match.”

His first task is the meeting on Sunday with the villa and then two games in Asia – to generate an income of around 10 million GBP – to which United players could not look forward to.

Longest fan groups threatened to protest against the Club’s morality in the villa game long before this recent body strike.

Amorim has to make his players visually and emotionally into unity.

It was striking that Tottenham, as Tottenham celebrated their victory, were United’s players, almost to a man, alone with their thoughts.

Andre Onana was sitting in his penalty area, Harry Maguire was upstairs, Alejandro Garnacho was insertable near half of half of the route.

Amorim went up and down like him and looked at the floor.

From this different bunch, Amorim somehow has to build a team that is able to do justice to name the famous club that they represent.
