Coach Amorim received an important ultimatum, his future at Man Utd is clear

(Dan Tri) - According to British media, coach Ruben Amorim has received instructions from Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe about the goals the "Red Devils" must complete this season.

On September 19, Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe flew to the club's Carrington training ground for an urgent meeting with coach Ruben Amorim and members of the coaching staff to demand improved results after a poor start to the season.

According to Talksport , at an urgent meeting with the coaching staff, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe asked coach Ruben Amorim to take measures to improve the team's results and aim to qualify for the Champions League next season.

"After last year's poor season, the club's board initially did not require Man Utd to qualify for the Champions League in the 2025-26 plan. However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe believes that with the current squad, Man Utd can aim for a top 5 Premier League position and aiming for a Champions League place is necessary," Talksport revealed the request of the billionaire who is co-owner of Man Utd.

Notably, also at this meeting, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe continued to put his faith in coach Ruben Amorim and had no plans to fire the Portuguese strategist this season despite the team's poor start.

After 5 matches in all competitions, Man Utd have only won 1 match and drawn 1 match, were eliminated from the Carabao Cup and are only ranked 14th on the Premier League table with 4 points after 4 rounds.

At the press conference before Man Utd hosted Chelsea in round 5 of the Premier League, coach Ruben Amorim expressed confidence about his future at Old Trafford when joking: "He offered me a new contract! No, it was just normal things to show support, explain that the season is long. But this is probably a club under more pressure than any other club in the world ."

"Last year I criticised a lot about our play. Now I think we play well until the opponent's penalty area. But we need to be sharper. We are in a better position than last year, but we need to win the game," the Portuguese strategist affirmed.
