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.

The head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has left Victor Osimhen and Ademola out of his squad for play Ghana in the Unity Cup.

This was confirmed after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, released the list of invited players on Wednesday afternoon.

Osimhen and Lookman will also miss Nigeria’s games against Russia.

However, there is a return for goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, Frank Onyeka, Kelechi Iheanacho and captain Ahmed Musa.

The NPFL contingent includes Junior Harrison Nduka, captain of both Remo Stars and the CHAN-bound Super Eagles B, alongside Ifeanyi Onyebuchi and Collins Ugwueze (Enugu Rangers), Sodiq Ismail (Remo Stars), Waliu Ojetoye (Ikorodu City).

Saviour Isaac (Enugu Rangers), Papa Daniel Mustapha (Niger Tornadoes), Sikiru Alimi (Remo Stars), and Adamu Abubakar (Plateau United) are also included in the team.

These home-based stars will compete for spots against established names like Moses Simon, Stanley Nwabali, Wilfred Ndidi, Samuel Chukwueze, Cyriel Dessers, Nathan Tella, Tolu Arokodare, and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Musa will lead the team to the Unity, which will be played from May 26 to 31. The four-nation competition features Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago.

Russia will host Nigeria in an international friendly on June 6, at the iconic Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

The game will be the first-ever senior international meeting between the two countries.

Chelle, aiming to test new players and tactics ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, stated that the tournament “will give us the chance to try out a few new players in different roles, helping us to strengthen our squad before the matches in September and October.”

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has threatened to quit the club if they refuse to grant his request concerning the size of the squad.
