Europa League final win a 'get out of jail free' card

Manchester United do perform better in Europe.

In the Premier League, both United and Tottenham have massively lacked consistency but have been able to do it in Europe. If you look at the tournament, United knocked out two Spanish sides and one French side.

It is a 'get out of jail free' card for both teams. It allows whoever wins the Europa League to say "it was a terrible season but we escaped, we have a place in the Champions League and it gives us some money".

I think the trophy is big for Ruben Amorim because it will offer a little bit of belief in his methods. The financial side of being in the Champions League would also open doors for Manchester United.
