Amorim could leave MU.

Ratcliffe fears Amorim may leave MU soon.

Amorim is said to have received strong support from Ratcliffe in the 2025 summer transfer market. However, according to Goal , Amorim's contradictory statements have led Ratcliffe to fear that the manager may leave Old Trafford due to the immense pressure of rebuilding the "Red Devils".

Amorim once admitted: "This is a decisive moment in the club's history. We need to be really strong and courageous this summer because next season won't be like this. If things continue like this, perhaps I should make way for someone else."

British media revealed that Ratcliffe remains concerned that the former Sporting Lisbon manager may have decided "enough is enough" after a chaotic season. Amorim admitted he is responsible for "the worst team in Manchester United's history" at this point.

Ratcliffe and Amorim share a similar trait: a strong, decisive personality, much like how the British billionaire transformed Ineos into a global petrochemical corporation. However, Ratcliffe wants to ensure Amorim completes his remaining two-year contract rather than leave MU in an even more dire situation.

Amorim has been under immense pressure since taking over as manager of MU.

Manchester United could qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League final on May 22nd, but that's not enough to guarantee Amorim won't resign. He has previously admitted that competing in Europe's top competition next season might be too much for the current Manchester United team.

After investing £1.3 billion to acquire a 27.7% stake in Manchester United, Ratcliffe implemented drastic cost-cutting measures. Ratcliffe warned that MU's finances were in a precarious state, potentially leading to bankruptcy. However, he was willing to spend £100 million on Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap. Additionally, the club was targeting a new goalkeeper and a central defender.

Alongside the investment, young talents like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo could be sold to generate around £100 million. Several other players will also be offloaded to increase the budget.

Amorim has the authority to make decisions in the rebuilding process under the supervision of Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada, and Technical Director Jason Wilcox. However, this will only happen if Amorim commits to a long-term future, avoiding the prospect of Manchester United changing managers for the third time in less than a year.
