Amid rampant speculation engulfing Ruben Amorim and his position as manager of Manchester United, Fabrizio Romano has provided much needed clarity on the situation.
Amorim has overseen Man Utd’s worst start to a season in 33 years. The Red Devils were bounced out of the League Cup by fourth tier Grimsby Town and have registered just one win from four attempts in the Premier League so far.
Amorim’s overall record at United is eye-opening. His win ratio of 26% in the Premier League is disastrous, while his win ratio of 36% across all competitions places him as Man Utd’s worst manager since World War II.
The Mirror claimed Amorim effectively has three matches to save his job. The Daily Mail were a touch more generous, claiming Man Utd aren’t likely to pull the trigger until November 1.
November 1 is the date on which Amorim will celebrate his one-year anniversary at the club. If Man Utd sack the manager before then, Amorim is due a £12m compensation package.
Now, trusted reporter, Fabrizio Romano, has weighed in on the situation and the results for Amorim are mixed, but more positive than negative.
Taking to YouTube, Romano stated: “The update of the day is about the co-owner of Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
“Ratcliffe was at the Etihad stadium for the derby… don’t underestimate the presence of Ratcliffe who wants to be present and involved in the conversations and part of the process to understand what is not working, why Man Utd are performing at this level.
“Ratcliffe flew into Carrington and had several meetings. Sources at Man Utd make very clear those meetings were planned, they were already planned even before the derby result.
“But in these meetings there was also a conversation, a direct face-to-face conversation with Ruben Amorim.
