‘He will be at Man United for a long time’

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has backed Ruben Amorim to stay long at the club despite the team’s poor form this season.

The Red Devils have had a disappointing campaign, which has led to a change in manager in the middle of the season.

Amorim took over management from Erik Ten Hag after the Dutch manager struggled to get the team in shape at the start of the 2024-2025 season.

However, since his arrival, the team’s performance has failed to improve, leaving them in 14th place in the Premier League table.

Manchester United and their new manager Ruben Amorim proved to be a hard nut to crack for former Premier League title contenders Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

Manchester United boss singled out Ruben Amorim for praise after the draw against Arsenal.

Ratcliffe throws weight behind Amorim

Following the team’s poor performance this season, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has claimed that Amorim is doing a good job with the Man United squad.

According to Fabrizio on X, as reported by BBC, he said, “If I actually look at the squad which is available to Rúben Amorim, I think he is doing a really good job to be honest.

“Amorim is an outstanding young manager. He’s an excellent manager and I think he will be at Man United for a long time.”

The Red Devils co-owner mentioned that the Portuguese manager will remain at the club for a very long time.

Meanwhile, Amorim is preparing his team for the second leg of the Europa League against Real Sociedad on Thursday after playing a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the weekend.

They will need to get a win at Old Trafford to qualify for the quarterfinal after playing a 1-1 draw in Spain.
