Amorim Says Man U Is Not Ready for Champions League or Any European Competition
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that his side is not yet ready to compete in European tournaments this season, whether the Champions League, Europa League, or the Conference League.
The Portuguese coach, who took charge after leaving Sporting CP, explained that United still needs time to grow into a team capable of handling both the intensity of European football and the demands of the Premier League.
United endured a poor campaign last season, finishing 15th in the league. Their last shot at Europe slipped away when they lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Amorim was clear about where his team stands. “I don’t think we were prepared for Europe, that’s just the truth,” he said. “To face strong Champions League fixtures and then come back to play in the Premier League, you need a very solid base. We are still building that and it will take time.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
