United trip to Spain to cope with Real Sociedad in the first stage of the last 16 on Thursday, with the aim of giving Amorim, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos and the ever -unfortunate fans something positive to work with.
But the failure to get through three knockout rounds and to lift the trophy in Bilbao on 21 May will have a dramatic effect on Amorim's summer funds and potential spending plans.
Qualification for the Champions League would be worth around £ 50 million for United without kicking a ball, with another £ 30 million in bonus and prize money for reaching the last 16.
That does not take into account around £ 25 million in gate vouchers of four home games in the competition phase and one knockout draw.
The new Kit sponsor agreement with Adidas includes a fine clause of £ 10 million for each season that they are not in the Champions League.
And with United currently 14th, they are on track to drop another £ 31 million from the amount they would have earned from the Prem by getting the top four.
It all comes down to a huge headache for Amorim and the club – which has already announced that the ticket price increases and a large cost -saving program is required as the Old Trafford -Hierarchy calls with impending profitability and problems with sustainability rules.

United paid ATALANTA an in advance £ 64 million – possibly rising to £ 72 million – two years ago, with the striker signing a five -year deal.
That means that he has an “amortization” costs of £ 38.4 million – the transfer sales value, which would negatively influence the finances of United – at the end of the season.
United must also receive £ 34.4 million for Brazilian flop Antony – currently on loan at Real Betis – or £ 29.2 million for the wrestling of Joshua Zirkzee to start “earning” of money on a sale.
All funds that are collected by selling on-Loan Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnaacho or skipper Bruno Fernandes could be calculated at the full value of the deal.
And that financial reality is one that can lead to big decisions that are made as Ratcliffe and Ineos are willing to build a team that is designed to play in Amorim's preference 3-4-3 training.
