The boss of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, played the meaning of a meeting with the co -owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the club’s training ground this week, insisting that their discussions were “normal”.
Ratcliffe was in Carrington to meet the under-press coach before Sunday’s match against Chelsea, live Sky SportsAmorim joking that he was there to offer him a new agreement.
“New contract, he offered me a new contract,” said Amorim during his press conference when he asked the visit to Ratcliffe.
“No, these are normal things, just to show support, explaining that it is a long project. He said on several occasions:” It’s my third season. “For me, this is not the case.
“I spoke with him, with [CEO] Omar [Berrrada]with [director of football] Jason [Wilcox]Just trying to see all the data around the team.
“So, a normal meeting, and we have had several, but right now, it is normal for people to pay attention to this.”
