BREAKING NEWS: I have finally Made up my my mind to tender my RESIGNATION LETTER as Man United Coach if they fail to sign this particular player this January,I cannot continue losing game every week again”, Ruben Amorim finally told Sir Jim Raccliffe about His resignation plan if they fails to bring in this player by January
Details of a meeting between Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and manager Ruben Amorim have emerged with just a week of the transfer window remaining.
Amorim’s side suffered a dismal 3-1 loss at home to Brighton on Sunday to highlight the need for change in the Red Devils’ squad, with outgoings as important as incomings. The United boss has only won six of his 14 games in charge, attempting to get results while being wedded to his 3-4-2-1 formation.
It’s evident that he’ll need plenty more time of the training ground as well as new signings to make that system fully functional, with Ratcliffe and the club’s hierarchy having appointed him in November. The British billionaire, who owns 28.94 per cent of the club, was in attendance to witness United’s late comeback against bottom-of-the-table Southampton last Thursday, as a hat-trick from young star Amad avoided more embarrassment for Amorim.
After the Premier League match, Ratcliffe went down to the dressing room area in a visit which lasted around 20 minutes, the Athletic report. The 72-year-old mingled with players before having a conversation with Amorim, the purpose of his trip
It’s unknown what exactly was said between the pair but with the transfer window entering its final knockings, one would assume the topic of ins and outs was discussed. If Ratcliffe and Amorim were in any doubt over the changes needed, Sunday’s disjointed performance and humiliating result would’ve reminded them.
Right-back Diogo Dalot had another torrid afternoon playing as a wing-back on the left-hand side, highlighting United’s need for a specialist in that role amid Luke Shaw’s absence. The Red Devils appear to recognise that, as talks have been opened with Lecce over Denmark international Patrick Dorgu.
It’s also not the only deal which United are said to be working on. That second signing is likely to be determined by sales, however, with Marcus Rashford continuing to be linked with a move away.
Barcelona are currently the favourites to sign him on loan, although they themselves would need to sanction a departure first. Alejandro Garnacho’s future is also uncertain, as Chelsea and Napoli reportedly prepare bids for the United winger, who started on the bench against Brighton.
Amorim’s post-match comments prove that he knows how much work the Red Devils have to do, labelling his side ‘maybe the worst team in United’s history’ following their sixth home defeat this season. “In [the past] 10 games in Premier League, we won two,” the Portuguese acknowledged
