Ruben Amorim said Manchester United is not ready to compete in the Premier League and Champions League next season.
United won their 16th defeat with a 4-3 loss in Europe Hope Brentford, a mathematical 4-3 loss that entrusted them to their second half.
Amorim made eight changes and appointed a third-year team in Premier League history, prioritizing Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against sports clubs, with Manchester United winning 3-0.
If Manchester United can win the Europa League, Manchester United will play in the Champions League next season, but Amorim said it was a "real problem" for the club.
"We are not ready to play in the Premier League, have a strong competition and have a Champions League," Amorim told Amorim. Sky movement When asked about the pressure to be so close to qualification.
“We know that, but we need to win, we need to win this game, provide something for our fans and play in the Champions League.
"Then we'll have time to prepare the team for these two games. So, it's a puzzle, but of course we want to win."
Amorim: We played better
United trailed 4-1 4-1 in Brentford, but Alejandro Garnacho's late goals and substitute Amad Diallo recovered some respect for Amorim's struggling side.
The promising flash, especially Mason Mount's opening game, has been 13 months old for his first league goal, but in most cases, the performance is in stark contrast to Thursday's impressive 3-0 victory over the athletic club.
Amorim has failed to translate Manchester United's Europa League form into consistent performance and results for the Premier League, but he insists he is seeing signs of improvement.
He added: "I have no doubt performed better, and even in this case, we are understanding how we play. So we have to accept all the hits.
“We lost the Premier League and we are fighting for the Europa League so we need to take that and see Thursday as the most important game for us.”
When asked about the Mountain’s goal, Amorim endured another season of injury, Amorim added: “It’s not only the end but his position on the court. He’s like the third midfielder who can get to the box. He’s really smart. He’s really smart.
“He got there and he was really training hard. Sometimes I had to push him back and take him on the court because he wanted to do more. We were taking care of him.
"He wanted to play more time, but he got controlled for a few minutes. I'm really happy with him."
Amorim: We can't do this anymore
Forward Chido Obi became the youngest player in Manchester United history, starting the Premier League at Brentford, and in the age of 17 and 156 days, fellow college graduates Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson also got nods.
Amorim was happy with the young trio and the experience they had gained, but sent them a clear message that United's standards in the worst seasons of the Premier League era would not be accepted.
When asked about the importance of young players learning from failures, he said: “It’s really important to understand that we can’t do this anymore.”
"We know the background, but we need to change the season. They need to understand what Manchester United plays.
"I think they're really good. They haven't played much, but they have to play 90 minutes because we have to change some of the other players to save them on Thursday."
When asked about the experience they would have had, Amorim: “It really matters because you can train a lot with the first team, but have that feeling, playing with the players, feeling the players, the speed of the game, I think that’s the best thing.”
Obi's first senior start was tasked with leading the internal centre-back pairing at Brentford, Nathan Collins and Sepp van den Berg, whose last-minute block denied the junior forward's goal strike.
Until that moment, the Denmark U21 International debut was a frustrating full debut when he faced a challenge in the box, destined to at least test Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken, but Van Den Berg's intervention.
"Chido fights for all the games, but you can feel that he is really naive sometimes in his body way," Amorim said. "He will understand what it feels like to play in these games. It's the best way."
