"As first reported by The Athletic, Ratcliffe flew into Manchester for talks, which were said to be pre-planned. Ratcliffe had other meetings in addition to the one with Amorim. However, it is understood the 72-year-old is keen to help Amorim work through his current issues. Ratcliffe did not accompany chief executive Omar Berrada to Leigh this evening to watch the club's women's side reach the Champions League main draw for the first time."
"Amorim has come under huge pressure following a dismal start to the season. Despite spending more than 200m on new players, United have won once - thanks to a stoppage-time penalty against Burnley last month - and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby. While sources close to Ratcliffe have insisted he remains supportive of the former Sporting coach and point to massively improved data as a reason"
Sir Jim Ratcliffe met head coach Ruben Amorim at the Carrington training ground after flying into Manchester for pre-planned talks and other meetings. Ratcliffe is reportedly keen to help Amorim address current issues and did not attend the women's Champions League draw outing with the chief executive. Amorim faces heavy scrutiny after a poor start, with United winning only once despite over 200m spent on new players and an early Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby. Sources close to Ratcliffe cite improved data supporting Amorim, while critics say statistics mask chronic underperformance. The club denies a three-game ultimatum, but upcoming fixtures will heavily test faith.
