The Portuguese coach has said after the defeat that he will walk away from United if the board and fans don’t want him around anymore and his first six months in charge have clearly not gone to plan.

Having lost the Europa League final to Tottenham in midweek, Ruben Amorim’s men are now staring down a potential bottom-three finish. Should United slip to defeat against high-flying Villa while Spurs handle Brighton, the Red Devils could finish as low as 17th, a placement that would be the worst in the club’s Premier League history.
