Manchester United’s focus is firmly fixed on their remaining Premier League clashes before the season-defining Europa League final against Tottenham.
With matches against West Ham, Chelsea and Aston Villa still to come, United are not only chasing a strong finish but also working to manage squad fitness.
Ruben Amorim continues to demand intensity and precision from his players as the fight for places in the Europa League final starting lineup intensifies.

The team’s form remains under scrutiny, especially following inconsistent displays across domestic fixtures.
And with a lucrative post-season tour already confirmed, attention turns back to Old Trafford, where another significant test awaits.
Manchester United will welcome West Ham United to the Theatre of Dreams this Sunday, and Graham Potter has confirmed that midfield enforcer Edson Alvarez is set to return to the Hammers squad.
Edson Alvarez has missed the last three matches for West Ham – against Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton – due to a back injury that required treatment and a pain-relieving injection.
Having now resumed full training at Rush Green, the Mexican international is back in contention and expected to feature against United.
“Edson Alvarez is back. He’s had an issue with his back, but he had an injection a few days ago, so that’s good,” Potter confirmed in his press conference.

“He’s back in the squad for the weekend, and apart from that there are no new injuries.”
Alvarez has made 28 appearances this season and is viewed as a crucial figure in Potter’s midfield.
His return provides a timely boost for West Ham, who are currently in 17th place and could leapfrog United in the standings with a win on Sunday.
United suffered a 2-1 defeat to the Hammers at London Stadium back in October, and the visitors will be hungry to complete the double.
Only Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville remain unavailable for the visitors.
As Amorim prepares his side for the final three Premier League games, Alvarez’s return adds another layer of complexity to United’s pursuit of momentum heading into their biggest game of the season.
