Manchester United's struggles have reached a critical point, with manager Ruben Amorim conceding he would consider stepping aside if their poor form persists next season. In a frank assessment of the situation, Amorim warned that the club is "losing the feeling that we are a massive club and it's the end of the world to lose a game at home."
United's appalling finish hit another low note at Old Trafford as they lost 2-0 to a West Ham side that had failed to win any of their previous eight games.
Amorim's side have only beaten Ipswich and Leicester in the league since 26 January and are on their joint worst winless run in the Premier League of seven games.
"Everybody is thinking about the Europa League final. The final is not the issue. We have bigger things to think about. We need to be really strong in the summer and to be brave because we will not have a next season like this. If we start like this, if the feeling is still here, we should give the space to different people."
On a three points for a win basis, United are heading for their worst tally since their 1930-31 relegation campaign, when they would have collected 29 points in a 42-game campaign.
United are on 39 points and 16th in the table, with only Europa League final opponents Tottenham and the three relegated teams below them.
Amorim said he was "embarrassed" by the situation. The Portuguese knows regardless of whether United win or lose in Bilbao on 21 May, there has to be major surgery of the kind Ralf Rangnick spoke about during his spell as interim boss following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2021, otherwise, he will be out of a job.
If United beat Tottenham in the Europa League final, they will qualify for next season's Champions League.
