Ruben Amorim \u201cmight not even be in his job\u201d if Sir Jim Ratcliffe \u201chadn\u2019t appointed him\u201d as Manchester United boss and the Chelsea win is \u201cno turning point\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 2-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday has eased the pressure on Amorim at Old Trafford, but ahead of the game, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp claimed the Portuguese boss may already be out on his ear if current head of football operations Ratcliffe hadn\u2019t hired him.<\/p>\n

So we can always forget about talking about it. Now it\u2019s about how these players can make it work. That\u2019s the simple facts.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I look at what he\u2019s done today, I think Man Utd fans be a bit disappointed, maybe to not see Fernandes maybe unleashed on these number 10 roles, and Kobbie [Mainoo] in there, the back three. My biggest worry is lack of pace there.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, if you\u2019re Chelsea, you\u2019re thinking, how can we get in behind [Patrick] Dorgu and [Noussair] Mazraoui? In those wide areas where you want somebody to create a goal, they\u2019re not doing enough. Not enough assists, not enough goals.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd [Bryan] Mbeumo and Amad [Diallo], yes, they\u2019ve got pace. Sesko, he needs time, but for the manager, that\u2019s eight wins in 31 Premier League games.<\/p>\n \u201cI think if Jim Ratcliffe hadn\u2019t appointed him, I think he\u2019d be under massive pressure. Might not even be in his job. That\u2019s how bad it\u2019s been for him.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON MAN UTD 2-1 CHELSEA FROM F365 The Red Devils claimed a crucial victory after Robert Sanchez\u2019s early red card gave Chelsea a mountain to climb, but Redknapp was struggling to come up with the positives for United after the game.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIt was really difficult to say. And the reason why because playing with 10 men after five minutes, and you\u2019re playing against a side, you go 2-0 up, you\u2019re in a great position.<\/p>\n \u201cSo did I really learn a lot about Manchester United today? No, but will I say that was a great result and a brilliant performance in terms of what they had to do to get the win.<\/p>\n \u201cThey showed a bit of aggression at the end. They showed some discipline, desire to get the three points. Yes, absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n \u201cBut you can\u2019t say it\u2019s a turning point, because, as I say, it was quite an unusual game. There were so many things happening.<\/p>\n \u201c10 men, and then I think the Chelsea manager got in his own way, making the substitutions he made, he took off two wingers, he gave them the real ascendancy, and then Cole Palmer got injured so little things went in their favour today, but take nothing away. It was a really important three points.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim \u201cmight not even be in his job\u201d if Sir Jim Ratcliffe \u201chadn\u2019t appointed him\u201d as Manchester…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,448,17109,349,50,451,101,56,1955,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-150962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-front-page","10":"tag-jamie-redknapp","11":"tag-manchester-united","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-ruben-amorim","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-uncategorized","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
