Ruben Amorim has been consistently under scrutiny since he took the job at Man United in November, but the club’s minority owner wants to give him three years to prove himself. As for Amorim, he has lost 21 of the 50 games he has overseen at United and led the club to its worst top-flight finish since 1974 last season (15th), 42 points behind Liverpool.

Man United could change as fixture moved by a day “Ruben needs to demonstrate that he is a great coach over three years. That’s where I would be [to give him three years],” he told The Times’ The Business podcast after an initial deflection on if he would see out the season.

You can’t run a club like Manchester United on knee-jerk reactions to some journalist who goes off on one every week.” It is a result-based business and that has not been something Amorim could hang his hat on, and Ratcliffe does not have the only say. The club has been poorly run and their on-field results and performances are a byproduct of that, ensuring Ryan Giggs’ declaration in 2011 that United would “never collapse like Liverpool” was misguided.
