Reporter: La Jue gave Amorin an ultimatum and must lead Manchester United to qualify for European competition next season

Hupu September 19th According to famous reporter Ben Jacobs, Manchester United coach Amorin has been clearly required to lead Manchester United to qualify for next season's European competition this season. Club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe made a surprise visit to Carrington training base on Thursday and stressed to Amorin that the team's record must improve this season.

After losing the Manchester City derby 0-3 last Sunday, the Red Devils have won only one victory in the last five games in all competitions. This continued the team's worst record in Premier League history set last season - ranking 15th with only 42 points, including losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final, resulting in the club's first European match in 11 years.

Despite the grim situation, Ratcliff still believes that the current lineup has the strength to compete in the top five of the league, but the UEFA Champions League qualification is not the established goal or budget assessment indicator for the 2025/26 season. But Manchester United executives believe that returning to the European arena is crucial.

Manchester United's board of directors is still supporting Amorin, although the pressure it faces increasing day by day after the derby defeat. It is reported that Ratcliff did not arrange a crisis talk this time, and his meeting in Carrington was planned in advance and was not specifically discussed whether the coach will stay or not. Some sources stressed that it is a routine arrangement for Ratcliffe to appear at the training base.

It is understood that the Portuguese coach who communicates frequently with the CEO of Ineos Group once again reiterated his position in public: he has no intention of changing his tactical system.

Amorin has always insisted on using a 3-4-3 formation at Manchester United, although players are obviously unable to adapt to this system. However, the 40-year-old coach publicly stated that he believes the problem does not come from his own tactical system. He said: "There are many factors that have poor Manchester United's record. You don't know what has happened in the past few months, but I will not change my system. When I want to change my philosophy, I will take the initiative to change. Otherwise, what you need to change is the coach himself. "
