Man Utd make decision on sacking Ruben Amorim if he loses Europa League final vs Spurs
Manchester United have made their decision on whether they will sack Ruben Amorim if he loses the Europa League final against Tottenham.
Man United have endured a woeful Premier League campaign, having lost a staggering 17 league games this season.
They have just 39 points to their name and could finish as low as 17th.
But Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag last November, could savage his side's season by winning the Europa League, which would result in Champions League qualification.

The Red Devils, who beat Athletic Bilbao 7-1 on aggregate, face fellow Premier League side Tottenham in the Europa League final.
Pressure is mounting on Amorim to win the competition following a bleak 2024/25 season as a shock name has become the favourite to replace the Portuguese.
But Man United 'intend to retain' Amorim as head coach next season even if they lose the Europa League final, according to The Guardian.
Their Europa League venture has offered some hope in a dismal season as Amorim has found life at Old Trafford difficult following his appointment.
Man United suffered their latest setback on Sunday as West Ham condemned the club to a crushing 2-0 defeat.
Amorim cut a spiky figure in his post-match press conference as he claimed he is responsible for his side's form.
"How a manager of Manchester United is supposed to feel in that position: embarrassed and it's hard to accept," he said.
"Everybody has to think seriously about a lot of things here. We need to be really strong in the summer and be brave.
"We are losing the feeling of we are a massive club and it's the end of the world to lose a game at home. I think that is the biggest concern in our club."
Asked if he can be the man to turn Man United's fortunes around, he replied: "It's not the players fault. It's my fault, I'm responsible. If we cannot change that really fast we should give our place to different persons."
