Ratcliffe: Amorim will get time to prove worth

SIR Jim Ratcliffe says he will give under-pressure Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim time to prove he is the right man for the job.

- By DAVID MCDONNELL

Amorim has endured a nightmare first year in charge of United and has twice offered to resign if Ratcliffe and the rest of the hierarchy felt it was in the best interests of the club.

But United co-owner Ratcliffe, in control of football operations at the club, hailed the 40-year-old head coach as a “good guy” who deserved to be judged over the length of his three-year deal.
