Ruben Amorim has apologised to Manchester United after a "disastrous season", but has vowed: "The good days are coming."

United signed off for the Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa but still recorded a worst-ever Premier League season by finishing 15th, and days earlier lost the Europa League final to Tottenham.

Following defeat in Bilbao on Wednesday, Amorim offered to resign from his role should the club's hierarchy wish him to. But on Sunday, addressing fans from the Old Trafford pitch, Amorim is ready to fight on and improve results.

"First of all, I want to apologise for this season," Amorim said.

"I want to say thank you, we are very grateful for your support during the season and I know it was really hard to support us in many games.

"But now we have to make a choice or we stay stuck in the past because this season is in the past - it's over. We fight each other or we stick together and move forward."

He added: "Six months ago, in my first three games in charge, with two victories and one draw, I said to you, 'the storm is coming'. Today after this disastrous season, I want to tell you the good days are coming.

"If there is one club in the world that proves in the past that can overcome any situation, any disaster, it is our club, Manchester United Football Club.

"Now I want to say sorry also to my players. Sometimes I was not fair, but I try always to be honest with you guys.

"Thank you very much, see you next season."
