“For me, it doesn’t matter if we win the Europa League, because the problems are much bigger than that.” Ruben Amorim recently commented ahead of Manchester United’s meeting with Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao on Wednesday night.
Amorim’s first few months in charge have failed to inspire confidence that the talented Portuguese coach is the right man to spearhead the umpteenth attempt at a Red Devil rebuild in a post-Fergie world.
This grand institution has chewed up and spat out a collection of managers of varying ability over the past decade or so, including José Mourinho, who guided the club to their previous European success eight years ago. While Amorim has talked down what victory in Bilbao would mean for his team, the trophy-hungry Mourinho asserted that success in the Europa League final over Ajax would be "amazing" after his team scraped by Celta Vigo in the semifinals.
But who was a part of Mourinho’s triumphant squad eight years ago? Let’s take you back to May 24, 2017, United fans, and remind you of the winning team in Stockholm.
