Sir Jim Ratcliffe has flown in for talks with under-pressure Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Amorim is under serious pressure with Man Utd<\/a> currently 14th in the Premier League<\/a> with one win from their opening four games. They were also knocked out in the second round of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby Town.<\/p>\n Their only victory came via a 97th-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty against newly-promoted Burnley, while they have been beaten by Manchester City<\/a> and Arsenal and drawn at Fulham.<\/p>\n After finishing 15th last season, Man Utd backed Amorim with a \u00a3230million transfer kitty<\/a> as Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha were among those to join the club in an overhaul of the Portuguese\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n The Red Devils\u2019 hierarchy are reportedly aiming to remain patient with the 40-year-old head coach despite no signs of improvement on the pitch, even with three supposedly elite attacking additions.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Every Premier League transfer confirmed in the summer of 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Amorim might be safe for now, but the club\u2019s co-owner Ratcliffe flew in for talks with the head coach on Thursday evening, according to The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s stated that the talks were \u2018pre-planned\u2019 as Ratcliffe arrived at the club\u2019s Carrington training ground \u2018for a series of meetings\u2019.<\/p>\n While Ratcliffe\u2019s visit has been on the agenda for a while, discussing the club\u2019s poor form with Amorim was a top priority.<\/p>\n The report states:<\/p>\n Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe flew into the club\u2019s Carrington training ground in a helicopter on Thursday for a series of meetings, including with the team\u2019s head coach Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n United sources, speaking anonymously as they are not authorised to speak publicly on the matter, insisted Ratcliffe\u2019s visit to Carrington was long planned and included time with Amorim. However, the team\u2019s form was on the agenda and Ratcliffe was seeking to work through issues facing Amorim at the club.<\/p>\n The British billionaire has openly expressed his fondness for Amorim, saying in March that he believes he is the right man for the job.<\/p>\n He told The Times: \u201cYeah, I do, honestly. I really, really like Ruben. He\u2019s a very thoughtful guy.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery time I go to the training ground, I speak to Ruben. I sit down and have a cup of coffee with him and tell him where it\u2019s going wrong, and he tells me to f*** off. I like him.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON MAN UTD ON F365 Amorim said after losing in the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur in May that he would leave without taking compensation and after Sunday\u2019s defeat at Man City, suggested Ratcliffe\u00a0would likely need to sack him if he wants to see a shift in tactics.<\/p>\n \u201cI understand (the criticism) and I accept. It is not a record you should have in Manchester United. There are a lot of things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have no idea what happened during these months but I accept that. I am not going to change. When I want to change my philosophy, I will change. If not, you have to change the man.<\/p>\n \u201cWe talk about that every game that we lose. I don\u2019t believe in that in the system or whatever. I believe in my way and I am going to play my way until I want to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
