Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim insists that he still has the support of Jim Ratcliffe, and is getting suggestions that the visit of the co-owner to the Carrington Training Ground of the club on Thursday was slightly ominous than a regular meeting.
The Portuguese manager has a victory in four Premier League matches and a Shock League Cup exit to League Two (fourth) Grimsby in a sputtering start of their season.
Speculation in the media is that the patience of the owners is wearing Dun prior to Saturday’s match against Chelsea in Old Trafford.
«(Ratcliffe) offered me a new contract,» Amorim said a joke with reporters on Friday. “No, they are normal things, just to show the support, in which it is explained that it is a long project …
«But normal things, spoke with him, with Omar (Berrada, United CEO), with Jason (Wilcox, director of Voetbal), who only tries to see all the information about the team.»
Ratcliffe’s visit is found on a crucial home furnishings, with United desperate to bounce back from last weekend’s 3-0 defeat in Manchester City.

Amorim confirmed that Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount are back and available for selection for Saturday’s game.
United is getting away in the 14th, with its versions so far anything but the optimism for the season erases. Chelsea is fifth.
Amorim knows that the results must improve.
«This is football and this may be the club with more pressure than any (other club) in the world,» he said.
«We want to win. Last year I was very critical about the way we played, but now I think we play very well to the boxes – defending and attacking. We have to be more aggressive in the boxes, more clinically.»
Despite the growing control, Amorim believes that his side is getting better, even if the results still have to reflect this.
«I think we are improving and we are in a better place than last year,» he added. «But we have to win. We have lost against Arsenal and City. Losing here, especially in the beginning after last season, is a problem.»
