Manchester, United Kingdom: Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believes a return to the Champions League is even more important than winning his first trophy in charge of the Red Devils when they face Tottenham in the Europa League final.
Victory in Bilbao on May 21 will hand a lifeline to one of the struggling English giants by propelling them directly into the lucrative league phase of next season's Champions League.
United and Tottenham sit just outside the Premier League relegation zone and the loser will miss out on European competition entirely next season.
A return to Europe's elite tournament is estimated to be worth at least £70 million ($93 million) to United and would allow Amorim more resources to rebuild his squad.
"For me the Champions League is more important," Amorim said at a press conference on Wednesday.
