Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS bosses are \u2018notably unhappy\u2019 with the \u2018frustration\u2019 over Ruben Amorim\u2019s contentious system and philosophy at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Amorim relieved the pressure through a 2-1 victory over Chelsea last time out but there are still widespread concerns over his 3-4-3 formation at Old Trafford, and ahead of that win it was claimed he was \u2018losing the confidence of the dressing room\u2019, with \u2018senior players\u2019 questioning his tactics<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe was at Carrington to meet with Amorim ahead of Sunday\u2019s game, with Amorim joking that he was there to offer him a new deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew contract, he was offering me a new contract,\u201d Amorim said in his press conference when asked about Ratcliffe\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s normal things, just to show the support, explaining that it\u2019s a long project. He said many times, \u2018This is my third season.\u2019 For me, it\u2019s not. But normal things.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke with him, with [CEO] Omar [Berrrada], with [director of football] Jason [Wilcox], just trying to see all the data around the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

And TBR Football\u2019s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has revealed<\/a><\/strong> more details on that meeting between Ratcliffe and Amorim, claiming United chief is \u201chappy\u201d with the summer transfer window and recognises an improvement in the team.<\/p>\n

Bailey said: \u201cThey\u2019re happy with what\u2019s happened over the summer \u2013 the players brought in, the system he\u2019s implementing \u2014 and the main focus is seeing progress on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we are already seeing it: they\u2019re a much better team than when he first took over, though admittedly they couldn\u2019t have been much worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club is backing Amorim. Jason Wilcox has fully bought into his approach, and the squad is being shaped in Amorim\u2019s image. There\u2019s little point in cancelling the experiment now \u2014 that would set the club back even further.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the report adds that \u2018Ratcliffe and his lieutenants are notably unhappy with the number of leaks around players voicing their frustration with Amorim\u2019s system\u2019.<\/p>\n

Journalist Ben Jacobs gave an update on Wednesday, from what he\u2019s heard, on Amorim\u2019s future at Man Utd.<\/p>\n

He said<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0\u201cThere is certainly appreciation for names like Oliver Glasner, but the sign that Amorim is still being backed is that there has been no outreach yet. There\u2019s been no shortlisting yet. There hasn\u2019t even, to my knowledge, been any succession planning yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cManchester United still want to try and make it work with Ruben Amorim. That\u2019s why he is likely to get a few more games, at least, before some of these other names perhaps come a bit more seriously to the fore if results don\u2019t go according to plan for Amorim.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS bosses are \u2018notably unhappy\u2019 with the \u2018frustration\u2019 over Ruben Amorim\u2019s contentious system…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":252170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[204,3782,50,12445,27832,221,62,9656,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-252169","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-front-page","9":"tag-manchester-united","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-ruben-amorim","12":"tag-sir-jim-ratcliffe","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uncategorized","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115261715553966952","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
