Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim admitted that his side’s dramatic Europa League triumph over Olympique Lyonnais offered a brief but welcome escape from an otherwise difficult season.
Harry Maguire’s towering header in the 121st minute sealed a stunning comeback for United, sending them into the semi-finals after trailing 4-2 on the night in a chaotic, end-to-end clash.
While the result sparked jubilation, Amorim acknowledged the contrast to United’s domestic struggles.
The 20-time English champions are currently languishing in 14th place and facing the prospect of their worst-ever Premier League points total.
With Champions League qualification now only possible through Europa League success, Amorim and his squad know their hopes – and financial aspirations – rest on keeping the European dream alive.
