Ruben Amorim has been given three years to prove himself at Manchester United after co-owner Jim Ratcliffe insisted he will not make a knee-jerk decision about the coach’s future.

“He has not had the best of seasons. Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years,” Ratcliffe told The Business podcast. “The press want overnight success. You can’t run a club on knee-jerk reactions to some journalist, who goes off on one every week,” he added.
