Sir Jim Ratcliffe Defends Rúben Amorim Amid Ownership Tensions at Manchester United

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made his stance crystal clear regarding the future of manager Rúben Amorim, issuing a bold declaration in the face of potential boardroom pressure. The INEOS chief, who assumed significant control of the club’s sporting operations earlier this year, insisted that Amorim’s position is secure, even if the Glazer family were to push for change.

“Amorim to get sacked if the Glazers ask me? It’s not gonna happen,” Ratcliffe said firmly, putting an end to growing rumors of internal disagreements within the Manchester United hierarchy. His comments came amid increasing speculation that certain members of the Glazer ownership group were dissatisfied with recent performances.

Ratcliffe’s defense of Amorim underscores his commitment to the club’s long-term footballing vision.

The British billionaire reiterated that Manchester United’s rebuild requires time, structure, and patience, and that chopping and changing managers has been one of the club’s biggest problems since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
