"He has not had the best of seasons, Ratcliffe told The Business Podcast, produced by The Times and The Sunday Times. Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years.

""It is three years. You also look at [Mikel] Arteta at Arsenal. He had a miserable time over the first couple of years. "The press, sometimes I do not understand. They want overnight success. They think it is a light switch. You know, you flick a switch and it is all going to be roses tomorrow.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe joined Manchester United's board in February 2024 after Ineos purchased a 25% stake, sharing ownership with the Glazer family. United sit 10th in the Premier League after three wins from seven games and face Liverpool next. Ruben Amorim is in his first full season after replacing Erik ten Hag mid-season in 2024-25. United lost the Europa League final to Tottenham and finished 15th, missing out on European competition, and suffered a Carabao Cup penalty-shootout defeat by Grimsby Town. Ratcliffe said Amorim will not be dismissed and insisted a three-year period is required to judge his coaching, with local owners leading football decisions alongside co-owners.
