Ruben Amorim press conference LIVE Manchester United boss on future, team news and Aston Villa

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Ruben Amorim's press conference ahead of Manchester United vs Aston Villa.

It will be the first time Amorim has spoken to the media since returning from Spain after United were beaten 1-0 in the Europa League final by Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao.

That defeat means United won't be playing European football next season and the scrutiny over Amorim's position has risen.

United are expected to back their manager in the summer transfer window but he will almost certainly be asked to address his future this afternoon.

Amorim will also deliver some early team news ahead of returning to Premier League action and field questions about United's opponents, with Villa looking to secure Champions League football next season with a win at Old Trafford.

Stick with us for all of the build-up, updates and reaction throughout the day with Amorim's quotes embargoed until 1:30pm.

Here is a five-point plan to make United a force again.

We are expecting Amorim to discuss his future as United boss this afternoon.

Here is what United's stance is on his future:

Ruben Amorim retains the backing of the Manchester United hierarchy despite his offer to quit without accepting any compensation.
