Latest Manchester United news as Amad sends an emotional apology to United fans after the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final
Amad has issued an apology to Manchester United supporters for an “unacceptable” season following their defeat in the Europa League final.
United fell to a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final in Bilbao on Wednesday night, which also saw the club fail to qualify for the Champions League and Europe altogether.
Ruben Amorim and Co. now have to prepare for their final Premier League match of the season, which sees them face Aston Villa on Sunday, where they could finish as low as 17th if results go against them this weekend and can only finish as high as 14th if results were to go in their favour.
Amad has scored 10 goals for United this season, seven of which have come in the Premier League with two in the Europa League. The Ivory Coast international made his return from an ankle injury earlier this month to help United reach the Europa League final, providing an assist in the semi-final second leg victory over Athletic Club.
Around 24 hours after United’s defeat to Tottenham in Spain, Amad issued an apology to the club’s fans as well as making a promise to supporters ahead of the next campaign.
“First of all, I would like to congratulate Tottenham on their victory, and then apologize to all Manchester fans around the world,” Amad wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“It’s been an unacceptable season, and no one can deny that, but we always put our motivation on the pitch.
“I promise you that a season like this will never happen again at this great club.
“Thank you all for your support throughout the season; you’ve been by our side no matter what.”
