Ruben Amorim is going to be given time, a lot of time, to turn things round at Manchester United, says co-owner Jim Ratcliffe.

Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League table last season and failed to qualify for European action for this campaign as they were beaten in the Europa League final by Tottenham.

There was a summer of encouraging action in the transfer market as the Red Devils signed the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, but results are yet to improve a great deal.
