Ratcliff hopes Amorin remains in office, Manchester United s reconstruction plan is pending

Pushing Net, May 18th, although Manchester United boss Ratcliff is willing to support Amorin to rebuild the team, Amorin's ambiguous attitude makes him worried about the coach's stay.

Amorin's coaching path at Manchester United has been thorny since he succeeded the fired Tenhah last November. Recently, his remarks have made the team's future full of uncertainty. Last week, Amorin said that given the club's current situation, if the new season cannot be improved, he may choose to leave. "We must show strength and courage in the summer and cannot experience such a season again. If this is the case in the new season, maybe we should give way to others." However, before Friday's 0-1 loss to Chelsea, he insisted that he would not resign.

This series of inconsistent statements made Ratcliff worried that Amorin might want to retreat due to the arduous reconstruction task. After all, Amorin once bluntly stated that Manchester United is the "worst team in history" this season and takes responsibility on himself. Ratcliff saw his own shadow in Amorin and admired his maverickness. It was this characteristic that helped Ratcliff build Inex into a global petrochemical giant. But at this moment, Ratcliff urgently needs Amorin to make a clear statement and fulfill the remaining two years of contract to prevent Manchester United from falling into deeper dilemma.

Although Manchester United still has the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League through the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday, Amorin seems unmoved. He believes that it is too difficult to compete in the Champions League next season with the current lineup, and the team has "no longer been afraid" and failed. Since spending 1.3 billion pounds to acquire 27.7% of Manchester United shares 15 months ago, Ratcliff has vigorously promoted cost reductions, with the expected severance of up to 450 positions, and even forced Amorin to pay out of his own pocket and send 30 logistics personnel to Bilbao.

However, to help the team rebuild, Manchester United still plans to raise funds to sign up. Wolves forward Cunha is targeting with a transfer fee of £60 million, and Ipswich forward Drapp is also considering the transfer fee of about £30 million, while the team is also focusing on the introduction of new goalkeepers and defenders. In terms of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, youth training stars Garnacho and Menu may be sold, with an estimated cash out of £100 million, and several other first-team players will also be cleaned up. Amorin will discuss with Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Bellada and Technical Director Jason Wilcox, and have important voices.

But the main premise of all this is that Amorin must convince the management that he has the determination to stay in office for a long time. Otherwise, Manchester United is most likely to find a new coach for the third time in a year, and the road to reconstruction will become increasingly difficult.
