Ruben Amorim speaks out on paying for Man Utd staff's Bilbao tickets instead of INEOS

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has addressed paying for staff to take their families to the Europa League final out of his own pocket. The club's part-owners, INEOS, initially offered two tickets for purchase per staff member instead of funding a complimentary trip to Bilbao.

Amorim said: "The situation is simple. We know that we have had a lot of things with people leaving and changes in the staff. In this moment, in our club, sometimes it is hard [to know] when to give and when to take.

"It is complicated for the club to start giving to other members of staff. It is a really hard position. That situation was explained and in that moment I could help. It is not going to change my life to help the staff to be there, to be better staff for the final.

"All the players had the same reaction. Everyone wants the staff there, their families there. It is hard to manage things in our club, so it is a simple thing."
