Ruben Amorim said Manchester United owed trophies to supporters after confirming their place in the Europa League final.
The Red Devils won 4-1 against Athletic Club on Friday, May 9, 2025, 7-1 on aggregate, to prepare for the fight with Tottenham at San Mames, Bilbao, on May 21, 2025.
This gives the team an opportunity to save some success from a sad season.
The Portuguese coach said the players must provide trophies for the fans.
"That is the least we can do for these fans for the support they have given us this difficult season."
"However, I have felt stressed because of the final. If you don't win, that doesn't mean we are happy to be there. Let's see," Amorim told TNT Sports.

With the place in the Champions League at stake, it means one of Manchester United or Spurs - who are in 15th and 16th place in the Premier League standings - will play in the European top club tournament next season.
Like Amoritism, Tottenham Ange Postecoglou's boss is under pressure to win trophies.
Spurs have beaten Manchester United three times this season - twice in the Premier League and once in the Carabao Cup.
"We've lost the last three games. So, we can win this game. You see the chances, we're closer to winning than losing."
"Both teams will play all out or not at all. A similar coaching position. I know Ange still has one more year, but the two of us are struggling."
"We have to understand that the final is completely different from the Premier League," said Amorim.
Despite aggregate win over Athletic Club, Manchester United did not completely win in the second leg.
The Spanish team made the night tense after scoring the first goal. After Mason Mount got off the bench to score the equalizer in the second half, the Red Devils confirmed their place in the final.
Goals from Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund as well as Mount's second goal in injury time made the score look more convincing than it should have been.
"It's a good result, but I think if you look at those two games, it's much more difficult than just a result."
"We had so many weaknesses, but we struggled. I think we deserved it, if you saw those two games, to be in the final," Amorim said.
