Amorim to renew with Man United? Ex-Sporting man claims offer (Video) | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim revealed the details of a conversation with the owner of Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Given the challenging times at Old Trafford - which has already been commented on by Peter Schmeichel - many believed that the main investor of the Red Devils would dismiss him. But, jokingly, the former Sporting coach says he was offered 'a new contract'.

"He came to offer me a new contract (laughs). No, it was just normal things, showing his support, explaining to me that it's a long-term project and as he told me, this is just his first season, but for me, it isn't. But they were normal matters, with the various leaders, trying to see the team's data, so it was just a normal meeting, and we had several," said the Portuguese coach in a press conference.

Following this, despite the support shown by Jim Ratcliffe, Ruben Amorim acknowledged the urgency of winning games: "This is football and this is perhaps the club with the most pressure in the world. We want to win, again, you can say what you want, last year was very critical of the way we played. We play well until we reach the areas, both in defense and attack."

"We need to be more aggressive in the areas, we need to be more clinical, but otherwise, I think we are making progress compared to last season. But again, we need to win, we lost against Arsenal and Manchester City and here losing is a problem," concluded the former Sporting coach.

It is worth remembering that Manchester United's next game will be against Chelsea. The players of Ruben Amorim have the tough task of defeating the Blues scheduled for next Saturday, September 20th, at 17:30, for the fifth round of the Premier League.
