"Big Sir Jim Ratcliffe's helicopter landed at Carrington on Thursday for a meeting with Ruben Amorim that was always scheduled, according to the club. Yes, apparently it had absolutely nothing to do with a Manchester derby pumping that had early-season optimism draining faster than the United end once Erling Haaland had scored City's third. It has not been denied team performance was on the agenda."
"Every time I go to the training ground, I speak to Ruben. I sit down and have a cup of coffee with him and tell him where it's going wrong, and he tells me to [eff] off. United's lack of improvement since March and anyone trying to argue there are actual positive signs needs their bumps feeling means it may soon be time for Big Sir Jim to tell Amorim to go forth and multiply."
Sir Jim Ratcliffe visited Carrington for a scheduled meeting with Ruben Amorim, with team performance confirmed as an agenda item. Ratcliffe now shifts much of his business focus to the USA and maintains an off-shore base. Ratcliffe described blunt, frequent exchanges with Amorim, including telling him where things are going wrong and being told to "[eff] off." United have shown little improvement since March, increasing pressure on Amorim and raising the possibility of his departure. Benfica considered Amorim but appointed Jose Mourinho. Several former United players have achieved immediate success after leaving the club.
