Manchester Manchester Ruben Amorim entered a heartfelt gesture, personally paid for 30 members of his behind -the -scenes employees and their families to participate in the finals of the European League in Bilbau, Spain, after refusing to cover the costs.
According to the ESPN report, the United Hierarchy led by co -owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is supposed to finance travel, accommodation or other tickets for employees who participated in the City of May 21 against Tottenham Hotspur. Both clubs have a shot in qualifying for the next season of the Champions League through the European League title.
Despite the high bets of the finals at Estadio San Mams, Manchester United kept strict measures to reduce costs. Employees were assigned only two paid tickets, without the provisions of travel or accommodation. Any other tickets had to be purchased separately, which caused criticism in the middle of a wave of financial ascension, which already included a reduction in 250 jobs and closed the dining room.
On the other hand, the French champions of Paris have announced Saint-Germain that they will fully finance a trip for 600 employees to participate in the final of the Champions League in Munich.
Amorim, who joined United in November and brought several employees from Sporting CP, was reportedly appalled to find that low -paid coaches, physics and support employees would pay their own way for such a landmark. After being informed, he offered to cover full costs for 30 employees, allowing up to two guests to raise up to two guests.
Club resources say that Amorim’s gesture was supposed to recognize the contributions and determination of their team during the difficult season. Although United disappears in 16th place in the Premier League with only 39 points out of 36 matches, the Portuguese manager praised for the support of unity and morals behind the scenes.
United defended its decision by quoting the need to maximize the availability of tickets for supporters, and noted that even players were allocated only two tickets. However, the decision was widely criticized, especially with regard to the personal intervention of Amorim.
If Manchester United manages to defeat Spurs in Bilbau, they book the Champions League in the berties of one of several positives in an otherwise depressing season.
