Ruben Amorim has said he is keen to move on from a ‘tough week’ and ‘terrible’ season for Manchester United.
Manchester United ended their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday. Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen scored second-half goals, as the Red Devils concluded the season with three points.
It was a positive result to end a torrid season, however, with United finishing 15th in the Premier League. It’s the club’s lowest league finish since being relegated in 1974 and there will be no European football next season for just the second time in the Premier League era.
“If there is one club in the world… that can overcome any situation, it’s our club.”

United missed the chance to end the season with a trophy and Champions League football, after losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
Amorim said it’s a good feeling to end the season with a win but warned there is a lot of work to be done ahead of next season.
“Difficult week. Tough on everybody,” he said speaking to BBC Match of the Day.
“But it was good spirits from the players and supporters today. So we finished a terrible and hard season with a win. It’s a good feeling.
“We are trying. We had momentum in other games like this. In the [Europa League] final, we were clearly the strong team. But sometimes we do not score. We had so many chances today. We are improving but we have a lot more to do next season.
“It’s a special club with special people. We already know that. That’s why it’s so hard to disappoint them when we play badly. It was a tough season, but this club is more than this and we will try to do better next season.
“We need to acknowledge it will take time. We are going to suffer a little bit more but better days are coming. We are changing things that you can’t see in the results. You can’t see today but they are there. It’s in the culture. It’s the way we behave and do things every day.”
