Ruben Amorim says he has received show of support' from Sir Jim Ratcliffe

"He [Ratcliffe] was offering me a new contract, joked Amoim. [No], it's normal things, just to show the support. Explaining that it's a long project. He said many times, this is my third season'. For me it's not. I spoke with him, with Omar, with Jason. Just trying to see all the data around the team. So a normal meeting and we had several, but at this moment it's normal people pay attention to that."

"This is football and this is the club with more pressure in the world, the 40-year-old said. But we want to win. Last year I was very critical of the way we play. [This year] we are playing well until the boxes. Defending and attacking. We need to be more aggressive in the boxes. We need to be more clinical. The rest I think we are improving."

"Amorim is under pressure following a start to the season that has seen United take four points from four league games and suffer a shock exit from the Carabao Cup after a second-round defeat to Grimsby. The Portuguese met with Ratcliffe after he arrived at United's Carrington training ground in a helicopter, along with the chief executive, Omar Berrada, and football director, Jason Wilcox, and insisted the discussions were positive."

Amorim acknowledged heightened pressure and said he must win more matches, noting United face global scrutiny. He said the team is defending and attacking better than last season but must be more aggressive and clinical in the penalty areas.
