Coach Ruben Amorim affirmed he has never felt pressured by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and also praised the spirit of the Manchester United players after their 4-2 win over Brighton, which helped the team climb to fourth place in the Premier League table.
Following a string of disappointing results, including a 1-3 defeat to Brentford and a dull showing in the Manchester derby, Ruben Amorim’s standing at Manchester United was questioned. However, the Portuguese tactician temporarily quelled all doubts with a third straight victory, notably the 4-2 win over Brighton at Old Trafford last weekend.
Significantly, billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe – who currently runs football operations at MU – publicly supported Amorim right after the Brentford loss and stayed in the stands to watch the team’s impressive performance against Brighton.
