Summary
Ruben Amorim suggested that not playing in the Champions League next season could provide Manchester United with a strategic advantage, allowing them to focus on the Premier League and prepare better for future challenges. The club's poor 15th-place finish in the league and near miss on the Europa League final due to a loss to Tottenham highlighted the need to step back from European competition. Amorim emphasized that absence could benefit the team by letting them build a stronger foundation heading into next season, while also backing Bruno Fernandes' leadership despite doubts about his future following the defeat.
