Overview

• Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently said on The Business podcast that Ruben Amorim should be judged over three years, citing patience as essential.
• Roy Keane told Sky Sports he doubts Amorim will actually get that time and stressed that results over the next few months will decide his future.
• Jamie Carragher argued on Sky Sports that the public pledge does not help because he believes few expect Amorim to be in charge in three years.
• Amorim said in his pre-match press conference that he feels fully supported by Manchester United’s senior management.
• United are 11th with 10 points from seven matches, the Liverpool trip is being cast as a major short-term gauge of progress, and reports claim a sacking could cost around £12m in compensation.
