That is where I would be. Three years. Because football is not overnight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s three years. You also look at [Mikel] Arteta at Arsenal.

Before the next international break, Man Utd have got four games, Liverpool, Brighton, Forest and Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens if they lose all those games? There will be another international break. Everybody will be talking about Ruben Amorim\u2019s future again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very significant intervention by Jim Ratcliffe to come out and back Ruben Amorim. I personally think the backing is not 100 per cent. If you actually look at the quotes, he\u2019s not coming out and saying come what may, Ruben Amorim is not leaving. He will be the head coach for the next three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s just saying \u2018Ruben needs to demonstrate he\u2019s a great coach over three years\u2019. \u2018We have to be patient\u2019. \u2018We have a long-term plan\u2019. \u2018It isn\u2019t a light switch\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a light switch, but Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world. I would say the only clubs that really compare to them on a worldwide basis are Real Madrid and Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat would journalists in Spain who cover Real Madrid or Barcelona be saying if Real Madrid finished 15th in the table? What would they be saying if their new manager was bottom of the table when it came to results since he\u2019d taken over?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/man-utd-mourinho-text-mkhitaryan-tell-leave-every-day-grotesque-bust-up\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mourinho text \u2018s***\u2019 Man Utd star every day telling him \u2018leave\u2019 in \u2018grotesque\u2019 bust-up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim will not be sacked yet but there are still\u00a0dissenting voices who want the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,1613,2680,44,574,9686,28066,82],"class_list":["post-203125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-home-page","tag-manchester-united","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-ruben-amorim","tag-sir-jim-ratcliffe","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
