JAKARTA - Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim said he didn't need a big squad to play next season for not playing in European competitions after failing to seal a ticket to the Champions League.
MU's failure to win the Europa League this season eliminates their only chance of playing in European competitions next season.
MU also had a very bad season in the Premier League after Bruno Fernandes et al., finished 15th with 42 points. However, Amorim has prepared a plan to ensure MU can enjoy a much better season.
"We always prepare two plans. With and without the Champions League. Without the Champions League, we don't need a big squad," Amorim said on the Manchester United website on Wednesday as reported by Antara.
According to Amorim, academy players can provide success for MU in the future.
"We can control the squad better. Then, we have a plan, which is to bring in some new players, but our big plan is to increase the team we have, to improve the academy," added the Portuguese coach.
Even though it has ended this season, MU has not rested for a long time and immediately held preparations for the 2025/26 pre-season. This month, MU will face the ASEAN All Star in Malaysia, Wednesday (28/5), and three days later against Hong Kong.
