According to the latest report from the well-known Italian journalist Romano, one of Manchester United’s owners, Ratcliffe, expressed strong support for manager Amorim on a podcast and confirmed that he will be given three years to rebuild the team, with no rush to dismiss him.
Ratcliffe said: Yes, we will provide Amorim with three years for rebuilding; the resurgence of the Red Devils is not something that happens instantly. I recall that Ferguson also faced pressure to be sacked during his initial two years managing United. Arsenal’s current manager Arteta also encountered many challenges in his first two years before turning the Gunners into title contenders. Therefore, we must remain patient and focus on Amorim’s long-term development and results.
This means Amorim’s position as Manchester United’s manager remains very secure. After seven rounds of the Premier League this season, United have three wins, one draw, and three losses, ranking tenth with 10 points.
Amorim has yet to achieve consecutive Premier League wins with Manchester United. In the last round, United faced Sunderland, a former "cash cow," and won 2-0 at home. Following this was the October international break, and the next Premier League match will kick off next weekend. On October 19 at 23:30 Beijing time, the eighth round features the Red Devils visiting Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. If United can secure back-to-back Premier League wins under Amorim in this match, it would undoubtedly boost morale significantly. Liverpool has recently suffered three consecutive defeats across competitions and is currently in low spirits.
