Despite a dismal start to the season, Amorim's team secured a 2-0 win over Sunderland in their final game before the international break, potentially buying him some time. Ratcliffe has suggested that the club could give Amorim up to three years to turn things around.

Ratcliffe expressed frustration with the media's expectations, stating that it's unrealistic to expect overnight success. He emphasized the importance of taking a long-term approach to managing a club like Manchester United, rather than making decisions based on short-term reactions.

In response to a question about what would happen if the Glazers, the majority owners of the club, told him to sack Amorim, Ratcliffe assured that it's not a possibility. He attributed this to the fact that the Glazers are based on the other side of the Atlantic, making it difficult for them to manage the club effectively.

Ratcliffe also offered a positive assessment of the Glazers, describing them as "really nice people" who are "really passionate about the club."
