Ruben Amorim reveals details of private Sir Jim Ratcliffe Man Utd meeting

Amad not only saved Manchester United against Southampton - he also let Ruben Amorim off the hook with his boss. The Ivorian winger netted a sensational late hat-trick to secure three points against the Saints. It had come after a display in which the Red Devils were dominated by the Premier League’s bottom club for large swathes.
United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was spotted looking particularly disgruntled during the game. But his mood will certainly have improved after seeing Amad plunder his treble - particularly just days after managing to tie the former Atalanta winger down to a new long-term contract.
Amorim was also thankful, having held a short meeting with Ratcliffe moments after the final whistle. Opening up on what was said between the two, the Portuguese coach hinted that it was a much smoother conversation than it otherwise would have been had United lost.
He said: “I had five minutes with him to talk about different things about the game. Was not a good game but in the end, the result helped the conversation. “So we can do our job, it’s a really difficult moment but today was more important the win. I know the fans want to see so much better football than this, I want to see much better football than this but you need time.
“Like I said in the first days here, to win time, you need to win games. We did that today, not in a good fashion but we managed to win and we’re going to prepare for the next game.”. What team should Man United play vs Brighton? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
