Amorim to renew with Man United? Ex-Sporting man claims offer (Video)

Ruben Amorim revealed details of a conversation with the owner of Manchester United , Sir Jim Ratcliffe . Due to the difficult time he is experiencing at Old Trafford - which has already been commented on by Peter Schmeichel - many believed that the main investor of the red devils would fire him. But, jokingly, the former Sporting coach says he was offered 'a new contract'.

Ruben Amorim: "Jim Ratcliffe? He came to offer me a new contract"

"He came to offer me a new contract (laughs). No, they were just normal things, showing his support, explaining to me that it is a long-term project and as he told me, this is only his first season, but for me it is not . But they were normal matters, with the various leaders, trying to see the team's wheel data, so it was just a normal meeting , and we had several.", said the Portuguese coach at a press conference.

Next, despite the support shown by Jim Ratcliffe, Ruben Amorim acknowledged the urgency to win games: " This is football and this is the club with the most pressure, perhaps, in the world . We want to win, again, they can say what they want, last year I was very critical of the way we played. We played well until we got to the areas, defending and attacking".

"We have to be more aggressive in the areas, we have to be more clinical, but otherwise, I think we are making progress compared to last season. But again, we have to win, we lost against Arsenal and Manchester City and here losing is a problem ", concluded the former coach of Sporting .

It is worth remembering that the next game for Manchester United will be against Chelsea . The pupils of Ruben Amorim have the difficult task of beating the blues scheduled for next Saturday, September 20, at 5:30 pm, counting for the fifth round of the Premier League.
