Premier League: United Find Sliver of Hope in Winning Europa After Disastrous PL season - Ugarte

  • 30/04/2025 - 20:18

As Manchester United's disastrous Premier League campaign limps towards its conclusion, Ruben Amorim's side face the very real prospect of recording their worst-ever top-flight finish - potentially landing in the bottom half for the first time in Premier League history. The 13-time champions' dramatic fall from grace has laid bare the structural issues plaguing Old Trafford, with Amorim's mid-season appointment failing to spark an immediate revival.

Yet redemption may still be found in Europe. United's Europa League semifinal against Athletic Bilbao (beginning May 1 at San Mamés) represents their last chance to salvage something meaningful from this turbulent season. The competition has offered rare respite, most notably in their dramatic quarterfinal victory over Lyon, where late heroics kept their European dreams alive.

The Basque club present a formidable challenge, particularly with this season's final being hosted at their home ground. For United, the stakes couldn't be higher - Europa League glory would secure Champions League qualification, bypassing their dismal domestic form that sees them lightyears away from England's top four.

Midfield enforcer Manuel Ugarte has identified the competition's less physically demanding nature as key to United's relative success: "A main difference [for the team] has been the physical part. I think that we've felt better in Europe, in the Europa League. That was a main difference," the Uruguayan noted, hinting at the squad's struggles with the Premier League's intensity.

As the season reaches its climax, Amorim finds himself at a crossroads. Failure in Europe would confirm this as one of United's darkest campaigns, while success could provide both salvation and a platform for renewal. The next fortnight will determine whether 2024/25 becomes a cautionary tale or an unlikely springboard for the Portuguese manager's project.
