Is Sir Jim Ratcliffe right to give Ruben Amorim three years at Manchester United? | OneFootball

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has pledged to give Ruben Amorim three years to prove himself at Manchester United.

Amorim joined United in November 2024 following an impressive four-year spell at Sporting CP, where he won two Primeira Liga titles.

He has endured a difficult time in Manchester and is reportedly just one or two defeats away from being dismissed.

However, Ratcliffe says Amorim will be given three years to prove he is a great coach.

The Red Devils have consistently sacked managers since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, and this strategy has been unsuccessful.

Sticking with Amorim could be the right decision, as he is an excellent young coach with a clear philosophy and style of play.

Arsenal stuck with Mikel Arteta despite poor results, and they are now consistently challenging for the Premier League title.

Despite significant summer investments, Amorim is struggling to get United heading in the right direction.

They are 10th in the Premier League after winning three of their seven games. League Two side eliminated them from the Carabao Cup.

Despite clear evidence that his system is not working, Amorim refuses to adapt or change his tactics.

His team selections have also raised concerns, with talented youngster Kobbie Mainoo yet to start a top-flight match.

Mainoo is unhappy with his situation and will likely push for a loan exit in January.

Football is a results-driven business, and Amorim recently admitted he will be sacked if the club’s fortunes don’t improve.

Despite what Ratcliffe said, the Portuguese is unlikely to be given three years to prove himself at Old Trafford.
