Overview

• Speaking on The Business podcast, Sir Jim Ratcliffe said Ruben Amorim will be judged over three years and rejected knee-jerk decisions on the manager’s future.
• Ratcliffe stated the Glazer family will not instruct him to sack Amorim, noting he has run football operations since February 2024 with just under a 30% stake.
• United sit 10th after seven league games with three defeats and a shock League Cup exit to fourth-tier Grimsby, though a win over Sunderland eased pressure before a trip to Liverpool after the break.
• Defending deep cost reductions, Ratcliffe cited around 450 job cuts and the end of subsidised staff lunches, arguing profitability drives better squads and targeting United to be the world’s most profitable club.
• Saudi official Turki Al-Sheikh posted that a sale to a new investor is at an “advanced stage,” a claim that has not been substantiated by United.
