Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Backing Will Mean Nothing If Results Don’t Improve – Amorim

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has said he appreciates the backing of Sir Jim Ratcliffe. He, however, admitted that it will mean nothing if he cannot turn results around.

According to him, while it is good to hear support from the club’s co-owner, he is unlikely to get time at the helm if Manchester United’s form does not pick up in the coming weeks.

Amorim added that the backing is reassuring for him and his backroom staff, but results will ultimately decide if he stays or goes.

His words, “He [Ratcliffe] tells me all the time, sometimes with a message after games.

But you know, I know and Jim knows that football is not like that. The most important thing is the next game, you cannot control, even with owners, you cannot control the next day in football.

It’s really good to hear that. Also because of the noise, but Omar [Berrada] and Jason [Wilcox] tell me that all the time.

I know that it’s going to take a while, but I don’t want to think like that. It’s really good to hear that. I think it helps our fans to understand that leadership is going to take a while.

At the same moment, I don’t like that, because it will give a feeling that we have time to work things out. So I don’t want that feeling here in our club.

It’s good to feel the support, but we need to prove in football.

Maybe it’s the expectations.

When you have to win and the response of winning it’s so much harder to play like that. That’s why when you play in big clubs you need to win every match.

Especially when people are expecting you to win. We have some difficulties sometimes to deal with that.

When people expect Manchester United to win that game. Maybe it’s easier for the players to perform and we need to change that.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
