Manchester United is poised for significant changes this summer following their loss in the Europa League final. Reports indicate that the club may undergo a major cleanout, particularly after failing to qualify for any European competitions for only the second time in 35 years.
This season has been marked as one of the worst in the Premier League era for the Red Devils, as they currently sit 16th in the league with one match remaining. The disappointing results are anticipated to leave the club in a challenging financial situation, leading to speculation that all players may be placed on the transfer market.
Captain Bruno Fernandes has indicated he is open to leaving the club if necessary to facilitate a rebuild after the team's defeat. He expressed his commitment to the club while acknowledging the potential need for changes.
Fernandes stated, “I have always been honest. I’ve always said I will be here until the club says to me that it’s time to go.” He emphasized his willingness to depart if the club decides it is in their best interest to sell him.
Another player whose future is uncertain is Alejandro Garnacho, who expressed disappointment after being dropped for the Europa League final. The 20-year-old had been a regular starter in the knockout stages but was substituted in late during the final.
Garnacho remarked, “We didn’t beat anyone in the league. We lacked a lot of things. When you don’t score goals, you always need more.” His future may be influenced by both the final and the overall situation of the club.
Amorim, the manager, defended his decision to start Mason Mount over Garnacho, citing Mount's previous impactful performances. The manager acknowledged the scrutiny of his team selection but maintained that decisions were based on performance and potential to change games.
