Ratcliffe’s Three-Year Backing of Amorim Faces New Scrutiny at Man United

Fresh commentary questions whether poor results plus an Anfield test will erode that pledge.

Overview

  • Sir Jim Ratcliffe publicly stated Amorim should be judged over three years, calling for patience in remarks made last week.
  • United sit 10th with 10 points from seven league matches this season after a 15th-place finish last term, described as their worst since 1974.
  • Results remain underwhelming with just 37 points from 34 Premier League games under Amorim and an early League Cup exit to Grimsby Town.
  • Reports from Football Insider, echoed elsewhere, suggest defeat at Liverpool could still trigger a managerial change, which is presented as speculation rather than a club position.
  • Football Insider notes a payout of around £10m would be required to dismiss Amorim, while separate coverage flags limited mid-season alternatives and renewed investor chatter after Turki Al-Sheikh’s social media claim.
