Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly flies in to hold talks with head coach Ruben Amorim following the club’s poor start to the season.<\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/strong><\/a> co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly held talks with head coach Ruben Amorim<\/strong><\/a> at the club’s Carrington training ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old is under growing scrutiny after overseeing a poor start to the season, despite being backed with the summer additions of Bryan Mbeumo<\/strong><\/a>, Matheus Cunha<\/strong><\/a>, Benjamin Sesko<\/strong><\/a>, Senne Lammens<\/strong><\/a> and Diego Leon.<\/p>\n

Man United have won just one of their four Premier League games, while their poor start has also included a surprise penalty shootout defeat to League Two Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n

Amorim saw his side slump to a heavy 3-0 defeat in Sunday’s derby clash with Manchester City, leading to further questions about whether he needs to move away from his favoured 3-4-2-1 set-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the Man United boss has insisted <\/a><\/strong>that he will not compromise on his philosophy, telling the club’s hierarchy that they will have to change the manager if they want a change in formation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Manchester<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe flies in for Amorim talks<\/p>\n

There is a belief that the players are now ‘losing faith’ in Amorim<\/a><\/strong>, having seen their struggles from last term carry over into the new season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic<\/a>, Ratcliffe has travelled to the club’s Carrington training complex to hold talks with his under-pressure head coach.<\/p>\n

The report claims that Ratcliffe’s meeting with Amorim was planned, although the pair did discuss the team’s current poor form.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a separate update, BBC Sport <\/a>claim that Ratciffe is ‘supportive’ of Amorim and wants to help him spark an upturn in fortunes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Man United have also ‘dismissed’ recent speculation suggesting that the Portuguese coach only has three games to save his job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Manchester<\/p>\n

What next for Amorim?<\/p>\n

While Man United have refuted the suggestion, it is clear to see why Amorim may need to oversee a run of positive results in the club’s next three games before the October international break.<\/p>\n

Amorim is currently preparing his players for Saturday’s tricky home clash against Chelsea, before they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium for a meeting with Brentford.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils will then face newly-promoted Sunderland at Old Trafford at the start of next month, before the Premier League pauses for the international window.<\/p>\n

That two-week break represents a potential opportunity for Man United to change their head coach if they believe that Amorim cannot succeed at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
