This inconsistency has led to speculation about Amorim’s job security, with rumours suggesting that INEOS and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe are dissatisfied with the team’s progress.
However, Amorim has revealed that he recently had a brief conversation with Ratcliffe following their dramatic win against Southampton.

The victory, secured by a stunning 12-minute hat-trick from Amad Diallo after Manuel Ugarte’s own goal had given Southampton the lead, seemingly eased the tension surrounding the meeting.
Man of the moment at Man United, Amad.
Amorim acknowledged fans’ desire for improved performances but emphasised the importance of winning games.
He said, “I had five minutes with him [Ratcliffe] to talk about different things.
“It was not a good game, but the result helped the conversation! We continue doing our job,” Amorim told the media.

“Today it was more important to win. I know the fans want to see so much better football, but we need to win games. We managed to win and we are going to prepare for the next game,” he stated.
