Amorin revealed that he had never asked Mourinho for advice and did not pursue a similar teacher! Explain the significance of winning the UEFA Cup to Manchester United

If Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Cup final to win the championship, coach Ruben Amorin will be comparable to teacher Mourinho's first season in coaching the Red Devils, that is, winning the European Championship and qualifying for the Champions League. In late April 2018, Amorin, who had just retired, went to Carrington for an internship as a graduate student at the University of Lisbon. Mourinho was his lecturer at the time.

Amorin expressed his admiration for this coach long before the internship began. In November 2017, he said in an interview with Portugal's Express: "I like Manchester United because Mourinho is my role model. I appreciate some coaches' coaching style, such as Guardiola. But for me, my role model is Mourinho, because my philosophy is closer to Mr. Mourinho. He can analyze his opponents well and adjust his lineup according to his opponent's characteristics. He not only adopts a specific game style, but will seriously think about how to adapt to the game and win. I am a bit like him."

Amorin gave up Manchester United's Premier League and focused on the UEFA Cup championship, just like Mourinho in the 2016/17 season. However, the Red Devils ranked 6th at that time, and now they are 16th, with even worse results. That year, Portugal's "madman" publicly stated: "I would rather win the Europa League than enter the top four of the Premier League. This is a European championship and can provide UEFA Champions League qualification. I think it's better."

After the final championship in Stockholm, Sweden, Mourinho asked all the players to raise three fingers, saying that he led the team to win three championships that year. Interestingly, both teams in this Europa League final are Mourinho's old clubs. Regarding whether he can repeat Mourinho's achievements, Amorin said: "I haven't talked to him. But I want to reiterate that winning something to repay the fans is very important. Whether I am like Mourinho or other head coaches does not matter. The most important thing is how this championship can help us return to the top, the faster the better."

According to reports, Amorin is quite worried about Manchester United's current situation. In fact, he was discouraged in January to resign. Several sources told ESPN that Amorin was disappointed with Manchester United winning only one of the eight games in January, "visibly graying."

Amorin was about to resign in anger, but was dissuaded by colleagues in the coaching staff. Finally, Manchester United Club CEO Omar Berlada came forward and promised that no matter what the final result of this season, he would support the coach to buy people and rebuild the summer window, so he chose to continue coaching. Before the UEFA Cup final, Sir Jim Ratcliff's Inez management team advanced the transfer of Cunha and Liam Drapp, the 25-year-old Brazilian forward was almost certain to join, while the 22-year-old England center had face-to-face negotiations with Manchester United. This was also to reassure Amorin before the war, and the senior management showed their support for him with practical actions.

However, Amorin is not 100% satisfied with the actions of Manchester United's management. Premier League transfer expert Graeme Bailey revealed that there are still differences within Manchester United's plans for the new center, and Drapp Jr. is the primary goal of the football department, especially technical director Jason Wilcox from Manchester City, is convinced that the Ipswich striker is the best choice for the club's long-term development. As we all know, Drapp came from Manchester City's youth training, when Wilcox was the director of Blue Moon's youth training.

However, Amorin and his coaching staff believe that choosing a ready-made No. 9 shooter is a better choice for a team that is desperate for a revival.

They still have the opportunity to achieve their goals through their own actions. If they can win the UEFA Cup and enter the Champions League next season, the club will earn at least 85 million pounds, and Amorin's transfer budget may be increased to 200 million pounds, and he can strive to introduce better scorers.
