Rúben Amorim on Manchester United’s Ambitions: "Our Goal Is to Win the Premier League" Despite FA Cup Exit

Rúben Amorim has reaffirmed Manchester United’s long-term ambition to win the Premier League, despite the team’s recent struggles.

Speaking to the BBC after United’s FA Cup exit, Amorim stated, “Our long-term goal is to win the Premier League. I don't know how long it is going to take, but that's our goal. No matter what, we continue forward.”  

United’s latest setback came in the FA Cup fifth-round clash against Fulham at Old Trafford. After a 1-1 draw in regular time, Fulham secured victory with a 4-3 win in the penalty shootout. Calvin Bassey put the visitors ahead before Bruno Fernandes equalized for United, but crucial penalty misses from Victor Lindelöf and Joshua Zirkzee sealed their fate.  

This defeat compounds an already difficult season for Manchester United. The club has been eliminated from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, and currently sits in 14th place in the Premier League. With domestic silverware now out of reach, their only remaining chance for a trophy lies in the Europa League, where they face an upcoming clash against Real Sociedad.  

Despite these challenges, Amorim remains focused on his vision, emphasizing the club’s commitment to long-term success. “The goal is to win the Premier League. I know that we are losing games and losing trophies during this season, but the goal is to win the Premier League again,” he reiterated.  

Manchester United’s next challenge will be a crucial Premier League encounter against Arsenal at Old Trafford, as they look to regain momentum in a difficult campaign.
