Manchester United star is determined to right the wrongs of this season after a lowly league finish was followed by a final . United are after missing out on European football, but the Ivorian doesn't appear to want to be one of those to leave.

The former Atalanta star has thrived under this season even as others have struggled. He earned minutes under Amorim's predecessor Erik ten Hag, scoring some important goals last term, but really came into his own under the Portuguese and scored his first United hat-trick against in January.

Amad also signed a contract extension in January, with the new deal keeping him at Old Trafford in January. While others may well leave this summer, his comments suggest he's determined to put things right at his current club rather than moving on.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate on their victory, and then apologize to all Manchester fans around the ," he wrote on social media. "It's been an unacceptable season, and no one can deny that, but we always put our motivation on the pitch.

"I promise you that a season like this will never happen again at this great club. Thank you all for your support throughout the season; you've been by our side no matter what."

The 22-year-old also missed European victories over Real Sociedad and Lyon, but returned to play a part in the semi-final triumph over Athletic Club.

Speaking to the media after the defeat, United boss Amorim shed some more light on what the club will be able to do in the transfer market. “We have two plans, even for the market and we need to understand it’s tough for a club like ours not to be in the ," he said.

"But we have to use the other side. If we have more time, we have more time to think, to work during the week and to be better in the . That will be our focus.”

United have one final Premier League game ahead of them, with visiting Old Trafford on Sunday. Unai Emery's side need three points to give themselves a chance of qualifying for the Champions League, but unlike United they are at least guaranteed some form of European football next term.
