Overview

• Sir Jim Ratcliffe said he will not make a knee‑jerk decision on Ruben Amorim and wants three years to judge the head coach’s work.
• Asked what would happen if the Glazer family pushed for a dismissal, Ratcliffe replied that such an instruction "is not going to happen."
• United remain under scrutiny after finishing 15th last season, taking 37 points from Amorim’s 34 league games, exiting the League Cup to fourth‑tier Grimsby, and sitting 10th this term without back‑to‑back league wins.
• Ratcliffe, who owns just under 30% of the club and controls football operations, defended sweeping cost cuts that included about 450 job losses and the removal of staff perks.
• He argued profitability underpins future success, noting record revenues of £666.5m alongside a £33m loss, and acknowledged heavy summer recruitment exceeding £200m that has yet to yield consistent results.
