RATCLIFFE LEFT WITH NO OPTION

RUBEN AMORIM was lucky to get as long as he did.

- 

After 14 months at Old Trafford, where is the team going? What is the identity? You look at the table and could argue that Amorim has made progress.

But this is Manchester United. This is the club that sees itself as the biggest in the world and is second to none when it comes to backing their managers.

But even the most loyal United supporters had become split on Amorim.

The club should not be languishing in sixth place after 20 games this season.
