"Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe helicoptered into Manchester United's training base on Thursday for discussions with head coach Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese boss has been scrutinised in recent weeks following the Red Devils recording just one win in all competitions so far, including a loss on penalties to fourth-tier side Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup. Ratcliffe's highly visible Bond-esque entrance led some to wonder whether he was landing with bad news for Amorim."
"It follows a 3-0 loss last weekend to rivals Manchester City, after which Amorim intimated that if United wanted a change from his 3-4-2-1 system, the club would need to remove him first. Speaking on Ratcliffe's visit, journalist Fabrizio Romano said: All the meetings with the people in the management, with people from the staff and all these kinds of meetings were already planned internally, even before the Manchester derby result."

United have recorded just one win in all competitions so far and suffered a penalty shootout loss to fourth-tier Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup. The visit occurred after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, where Amorim suggested any tactical change would require his removal. Fabrizio Romano stated that meetings with management and staff had been planned internally before the Manchester derby result. Amorim later joked that Ratcliffe was offering him a new contract and described the meetings as normal support for a long project.
