""New contract, he was offering me a new contract! No, it was normal things. To show his support, explaining that it is a long project. He said many times this is my first season. For me, it's not. But it was normal things. I spoke with him, Omar [Berrada, chief executive] and Jason [Wilcox, director of football], trying to see all the data around the team. So, it was a normal meeting, and we had several. But in this moment, it's normal that people pay attention to that.""
""Amorim's position has been called into question repeatedly in recent weeks, with United having the worst Premier League record among all 17 ever-present clubs since he took charge last November (31 points from 31 games, below Tottenham on goal difference). Amorim's Premier League win rate stands at 26% (8/31), the worst figure of any manager to lead United in the top flight since the Second World War. Among all managers to lead United in at least 20 such games, only the club's first manager Alfred Albut (20%, 1892 to 1900) and Scott Duncan (24%, 1932 to 1937) have a lower win ratio.""
""United have endured a frustrating start to the season, sitting 14th in the Premier League with four points from four matches after last week's 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City. The Red Devils were also dumped out of the EFL Cup by fourth-tier Grimsby Town, while their only victory this season came via a 97th-minute penalty at home to Burnley.""
Ruben Amorim retains the long-term support of the Manchester United hierarchy after meeting co-owner Jim Ratcliffe and senior executives to review team data. Manchester United sit 14th in the Premier League with four points from four matches following a 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City. The club exited the EFL Cup to fourth-tier Grimsby Town, and their only victory was a 97th-minute penalty against Burnley. Amorim has faced repeated questioning due to 31 points from 31 games since last November and a 26% Premier League win rate, one of the lowest in the club's history.
