Manchester United (MU) coach Ruben Amorim has warned his players that they have a "huge responsibility" to save their dismal season in the Premier League by winning the Europa League.
"So, we have to accept all the blows at the moment. We lost the game in the Premier League, but we are fighting for the Europa League, so we have to accept it and think about Thursday's game which is the most important game for us," Amorim was quoted as saying by the club's official website on Monday.
United have been warming up for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford in midweek, as they suffered a 4-3 defeat to Brentford on Sunday.
Amorim made eight changes for the match in an attempt to keep his star players fresh for the second leg against Bilbao, who they currently hold a 3-0 aggregate lead.
