Sir Jim Ratcliffe Reveals How Long Ruben Amorim Has as Man Utd Manager

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly revealed how long Ruben Amorim has as Manchester United boss.

Back in November 2024, Amorim was drafted in as Erik ten Hag's replacement after the Dutchman was dismissed on the back of a 2-1 defeat by West Ham United.

Due to his impressive record at Sporting Clube de Portugal, Amorim was expected to finally be the man to lead United back to the top.

However, the 40-year-old has largely struggled to implement his playing style and results have been way below par.

Currently, United sit 10th in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Arsenal.

Over the last few weeks, Amorim's future has been questioned due to United's ongoing struggles.

Speaking recently, INEOS boss Ratcliffe, who owns 25% of United, has revealed how long Amorim has as Red Devils boss.

He said to The Business podcast, produced by The Times and The Sunday Times: "He has not had the best of seasons. Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years. That's where I would be.

"The press, sometimes I don't understand. They want overnight success. They think it's a light switch. You know, you flick a switch and it's all going to be roses tomorrow."

Ratcliffe added: "You can't run a club like Manchester United on knee-jerk reactions to some journalist who goes off on one every week."

Amid the uncertainties over Amorim's future, a host of different names have previously been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

To date, the likes of Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, Zinedine Zidane, Unai Emery, have all been tipped to move to United as Amorim's replacement.

United got back on track last weekend after beating Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford.

After the international break, United will travel to Anfield to take on fierce rivals and reigning champions Liverpool.
