      by

      RUBEN AMORIM says cash-strapped Manchester United must operate with a smaller squad after failing to qualify for the Champions League.The Red Devils are ready to spend £100million on Wolves forward Matheus Cunha and Ipswich striker Liam Delap, despite finishing 15th in the Prem and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham.Ruben Amorim gave bad news to Manchester United fans hoping for a huge transfer windowMan Utd failed to qualify for Europe and that will have an effect on the transfer windowThat Bilbao defeat by Spurs last Wednesday means there will be no European football on offer at Old Trafford next season and will limit Amorim’s summer transfer activity.The United boss said: “It’s not going to change so much because we have the financial fair play rules.“We are not allowed to do much in this summer, even if we had Champions League, so we are prepared for that.”Despite the Euro exile next term, Amorim will try to improve a squad that arguably delivered the worst season at United since the club were relegated in 1974. Read More on Man UtdYet the latest manager given the seemingly impossible job of restoring the club to its Sir Alex Ferguson glory era claims that a year outside Europe’s elite might be a blessing in disguise.Amorim added: “I have to say that for us not to be in the Champions League could be an advantage to perform better, to prepare better for the games, to build that work that we need for the future.“Without Champions League, we don’t need a big squad, we can control the squad in a better way. Then we have a plan to bring some new players.“But our big plan is to improve the team we have, to improve our academy, because I think that is the future. It was the past, so can be the future.”Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSUnited’s golden eras were built on the Busby Babes and the Class of 92, which featured academy graduates such as Paul Scholes, David Beckham Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers, Gary and Phil.

I will rest from that when we finish the tour.“I closed that chapter, I’m excited, I’m nervous, I want to work to the next season.“I don’t have that feeling to disconnect, I don’t need rest.“We have a lot to do during this summer, we have to prepare the team — but when you are Manchester United, people are going to expect us to be at the top.Read More on The Sun“But we have to understand the context.
