Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Ruben Amorim will regret his decision to focus on the UEFA Europa League this season. He claimed that the plan to ignore the Premier League results this season is risky and will backfire soon.
Scholes said that he did not agree with Amorim’s decision to play youngsters in the league as they were bound to finish in the bottom half of the table. He claimed that the players will get used to the situation, and it could play a huge role next season. He said on TNT Sports (via METRO):
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim stated earlier this season that he was not thinking about the results in the Premier League. He added that he was going to play the main players in the Europa League and give youngsters a chance in the league.
Manchester United are 16th in the Premier League table after their 2-0 loss to West Ham United on Sunday, May 11. The Red Devils suffered their 17th loss in the league and are just two spots above the relegation zone.
However, they are safe from the drop as the bottom three are decided for the season. Ipswich Town, Southampton, and Leicester City are dropping to the Championship next season after their poor form in the top flight.
Tottenham Hotspur sit right below Manchester United in the Premier League, but both sides have a golden chance to end the season on a high. They clash in the UEFA Europa League final this season at San Mames on May 21. The winner will finish with a trophy and qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
