Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, is not facing the sack despite their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday.

According to Sky Sports, the Premier League giants continue to regard Amorim as part of their longer-term project.

United’s commitment to the 40-year-old will not be affected by the loss, despite the club losing out on automatic Champions League spot.

Speaking after the game in Bilbao, Amorim had said he would leave United “the next day” for “no compensation” if the club’s board and fans no longer wanted him.

Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford in November with United sitting 13th in the table.

Since then, the Red Devils have fallen three places to sit above the relegated teams.

They have also been knocked out of the three cup competitions in the process.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
